The library is maintained by the Facebook Database Engineering Team.
RocksDB is optimized for fast, low-latency storage, and MyRocks is aimed at keeping the storage savings efficient.
MyRock's efficiency focuses on better space efficiency, better write efficiency, and better read efficiency.[4]
Benchmark tests against 3 different instances – MyRocks (compressed),InnoDB (uncompressed), and InnoDB (compressed, 8 KB page size) – found:[4]
