Why not RocksDB for streaming storage? (materialize.io)

I am confused. Last I heard, RocksDB was an offshoot of MongoDB. What is the real story? Being the basis for a bunch of other DBs seems to make it much more plausible.


You may be thinking of MongoRocks. MongoDB with a RocksDB storage engine https://github.com/mongodb-partners/mongo-rocks/wiki


RocksDB have nothing to do with Mongo. Mongo uses the WiredTiger storage engine.


That is incorrect, RocksDB is a fork of LevelDB.
