A Multi-tenant Relational OLTP Database at Salesforce
Summary: SalesforceDB: an LSM-based multi-tenant relational OLTP system tackling read-heavy mixed workloads (single-record probes + short range scans) where standard LSM read optimizations are insufficient. Adds a location cache, range filters, and early tombstone pruning; all three deployed and validated on production workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
