Sled Theoretical Performance Guide
sled.rsI've read the sled website/documentation a while ago and can only recommend others to do the same.
It's a non-trivial amount of interesting knowledge regarding database creation as well as performance.
Somewhat puzzling post? I read it and appreciated it (but holy crap does it need a TL;DR... (basically, "benchmark carefully")) but had little idea what it has to do with `sled`, which turns out to be an embedded database written in Rust. Perhaps update the title? I was looking forward to some performance guidance for "sled" on "Rust (.rs)" and didn't really find any...
It was kind of Hunter S Thomson-ish and also kind of inside-baseball like. It would be interesting to talk to the author. Are they like that in person?
He's operating on another level in some ways, but does all that fancy-talk and verbal abstraction (We are fucked in 2020 he says) actually come down to anything a normal schlub can use? If you've worked in the db world on distributed databases, well, this is par for the course at MemSQL or Amazon or whatever.
One of his commit messages (https://github.com/spacejam/sled/commit/5dbd8f681133ab042e24...) was "©️ dat spicy law shit". He's an interesting character for sure.
He gave a talk about Sled last year, I think at FOSDEM, but I can't find it right now.
