Pretty much how eventstoredb works. Deleting data fully only happens at scavenge which rewrites the data files.

I think it was a joke. It sounds like you read it as append-only, like most LSM tree databases (not rewriting files in the course of write operations), but I think GP meant it as write-only to the exclusion of reads, roughly equivalent to `echo $data > /dev/null`
I've forgotten how to count that low. [0]
