One good side-effect from the PostgreSQL trademark issue, I learned how to (and did) donate to PostgreSQL.

Alas, there wasn't an option to target that to the development of a write-optimized storage engine for PG.

FWIW the startup that I just joined (Zenith) is building an open source Postgres extension that uses log-structured storage. The design is much closer to Aurora than MyRocks, though - efficiency and write amp are not the main goal. Changes very little within the standard AMs.

Agreed. But the model is also theoretically appealing. The Fineline paper author sometimes illustrates the problem with checkpoints using "the faucet analogy" -- he paints a pictures that's all too familiar to me. See "Fig. 5: Dirty page backlog" from: dl.gi.de/bitstream/hand

Would be great to hear your thoughts! Especially on the conceptual framework for discussing the design. Everything is moving very quickly, as you'd expect. But design docs are mostly there. And the system is being developed in the open.
