SlimDB: A Space-Efficient Key-Value Storage Engine For Semi-Sorted Data

Summary: SlimDB: a space-efficient KV store for semi-sorted data; targets reduced read/write amplification in LSM-tree-based backends. 2-3x faster than LevelDB/RocksDB, less memory for metadata indices, and lower tail read latency on SSDs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
