>Graviton is currently alpha software.

More like the "BTRFS for key-value stores" ;)

Kidding aside, I dislike when new unproven software claims the name of industry standards like this. When I saw the headline, I was hoping this somehow actually leveraged ZFS's storage layer, but actually it is just a new database that thinks Copy-on-Write is cool.

Title is very click baity, this is just another kv store, completely unrelated to ZFS.
Even their README is click baity then. I quickly glanced at their repo and thought it somehow is related to ZFS, before reading comments here.
Every new unproven software is alpha during launch. Yet to see any software perfect since launch. Graviton provides ZFS leverages and features beyond ZFS. :)
