How to Write to SSDs

Summary: Shows DBMS-side out-of-place write redesign needed to exploit SSD I/O while preserving lifespan. Redesigns LeanStore (B-tree) with cross-layer write-amplification optimizations, improving OLTP throughput 1.65–2.24x and cutting flash writes 6.2–9.8x (YCSB-A), 2.45x on TPC-C 15k WH; supports ZNS/FDP.
