Oh sorry I didn't mean to imply I'd used it in production or it was production ready, I simply consider it to be a really promising project.

It's tackling what I see as one of the foundational weaknesses of postgres, which is the storage engine. A good number of it's downsides stem from the fundamental design of the storage layer, and if orioledb succeeds in becoming stable then there is a class of issues that would simply go away.
