Oh I see, it has weird independent block file semantics (weird because they aren't reused, unless they are?). That's interesting, although potentially problematic, with the whole "I'll just keep adding files, unless I remember to cleanup, which could cause problems" thing If you can't handle 30 seconds of data loss you should probably be using a real database. I could be wrong but I don't remember this guaranteeing every transaction synchronously committed to remote storage? There's a lot of caveats around block store restrictions, multi client access, etc. It looks a lot more complicated than it's probably worth. I'll grant you in some cases it's probably useful, but I also can't see a case where a regular database wouldn't be more ideal.
