> yet another RocksDB-based KV store

Aaah, there was a super informative talk about the different databases at Facebook, most of them built on RocksDB, with different trade offs. (And I can't find the video :((((( )

Anyway, it makes sense to have yet another it if serves a different purpose. Eg. for read-heavy workloads (caches, serving user feeds, whatever), or write-heavy (monitoring, storing that sweet sweet tracking juice that then gets read once or twice while building the recommendation models), small or large blobs, latency requirements, HA/consistency requirements, how complicated queries are going to be, does it support secondary indices or not, etc.

That video sounds interesting, if you do manage to find it.
