This is failing my "Can I figure out what the hell it is in 60 seconds?" test.

Sometimes that means I'm just not the target market. I do do web dev (among other things) so that doesn't seem to be the case at first glance?

It’s RocksDB but faster because data can be searched while still compressed allowing you to load more records in less cache/ram leading to up to 10x performance of RocksDB. It adds an embedded http control plane as well as supporting other extensions like MyRocks (MySQL) and Todis (redis compatibility).

Or at least thats what I got from it correct me if I am wrong rockeet.

OK. So "persistent key-value store" makes sense. But the "for External Storage" bit doesn't? What other kinds of persistent key-value stores are there? Or is "for external storage" just a synonym for "persistent"?
