* Uses a log structured database engine, written entirely in C++, for maximum performance. Keys and values are just arbitrarily-sized byte streams.
* Is optimized for fast, low latency storage such as flash drives and high-speed disk drives. RocksDB exploits the full potential of high read/write rates offered by flash or RAM.
* Is adaptable to different workloads.
* Provides basic operations such as opening and closing a database, reading and writing to more advanced operations such as merging and compaction filters.
