Similar to @zeroq, I don't really need a K/V store. I need a full relational database that I can also use for analytics and time series, and I want it embedded. And as strict as possible -- PostgreSQL is doing this really well.

I don't mind that there are databases that can be forced into all that and work alright but I admit I am not willing to put the plumbing work if I can avoid it. If I can't avoid it at one point then, well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

DuckDB and ClickHouse(-Local) are amazing candidates but I have never evaluated their normal OLTP performance. For now.

(EDIT: let that not stop you however. Please publish it and announce your thing on HN as well.)

As I said, I'll be adding a relational layer on top. Similar to how RocksDB is used under the hood for MySQL & other databases at Facebook.
