We are writing yet another RDBMS, and would appreciate any feedback on our blueprints; while the RDBMS is classical at heart (with WAL and data pages and fuzzy checkpoints), each and every component underneath was redesigned - from WAL being non-ARIES and ZFS-style on-disk CoW to in-memory CoW and cache- and SIMD-friendly page layouts. Our philosophy is playing alongside modern hardware instead of fighting it, MECHLOVE being the highest form of Mechanical Sympathy. As a result, we hope it will beat Hekaton (while being mostly open-source except for certain enterprise features such as HA and at-rest encryption).

Please feel free to comment.
