KeyDB does network I/O and parsing on separate threads, but still has one big lock around the data structures themselves. DragonflyDB does full processing of the transaction on separate threads. [1] https://docs.keydb.dev&#x

Wow, this looks very nice! I’ve seen the VLL paper before and I’ve wondered how well it would work in practice (and for what use cases). Does anyone know how they handle blocked transactions across threads? Is the locking done per-thread? I

Alternatively, instead of just betting on it, you could do a benchmark, figure out the limits of your system and check if your current implementation is capable of handling the future needs.

This is "vertical scaling" and that is indeed a very valid approach! You just have to be aware that vertical scaling has some fundamental limits and it's going to suck big time if it comes at a surprise to you.

I think people react here because of the term “burn out”. It’s usually used when you’ve been under high stress for a longer period and you completely collapse and is unable to do any work. Losing motivation for a project and moving over to

"40% faster?" Sure, but the original code doesn't make much sense. The whole purpose of a B-tree is that you store the keys in a contiguous array to take advantage of locality. If you're going to spread your data aroun

One of the core ideas behind unsafe blocks is that they don’t actually change any semantics. All they do is allow more operations. This makes it a lot easier to reason about (for both the programmer and the compiler) since there’s not two
