Disaggregating RocksDB: A Production Experience

Summary: Disaggregating RocksDB adapts a production engine to cloud storage via Tectonic FS, aligning append-only IO with a distributed FS. It targets metadata overhead and tail latency, with engine- and workflow-level optimizations for reliable distributed RocksDB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
