I met SpeeDB during the recent 43rd edition of The IT Press Tour in Israel and realized that this team is working on something big, a new storage engine that replaces RocksDB, the open source one invented by Facebook. It is used by hundreds of thousands of database worldwide and they all suffer sooner or later by performance and scalability limitations and therefore see the associated cost increase to address these limitations. So I decided to interview Adi Gelvan, CEO and one of the 3 co-founders of SpeeDB, we spoke about the genesis of the project, how the engine works, the use cases and already deployed configurations, the go-to-market strategy and pricing model and as well their cloud and Kubernetes approach. We conclude by some elements of the future with some interesting directions. I let you discover this episode, a very interesting one, enjoy and thank you Adi.
