Its probably caused by a misunderstanding. RocksDB is just a "library" - not really a database in the sense that you can connect to it and query it.

So to someone well understood in the space going from RocksDB to MongoDB without mentioning any sort of front end is meaningless. It would be like going from Postgres to Sqlite.

What are you going on about? You can absolutely use RocksDB standalone, as you can Postgres and SQLite.
