This project is not "business" bound, it's a DB abstraction so business concerns are layered outside of it (but it's a worthwhile pursuit since it rethinks some aspects I haven't seen elsewhere in all the years of DB announcements here and elsewhere).

And yes, write amplification is one major concern but the question is that considering how hardware has changed, how does one design to avoid it. Our classic 512byte, 4k,etc block sizes seems long gone and does the systems "magically" hide it or do we end up with unseen write amplification instead?
