A comment on ToplingDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for External Storage.

A distributed KV-store plus a relational layer makes it a competitor to NewSQL databases like TiDB, which is also based on Facebook's RocksDB.

It doesn't look like it's very actively developed: https://github.com/topling/toplingdb/pulse/monthly

To the OP who's developing it: I suggest polishing your README. Provide a simple installation tutorial, maybe a trial offering like tidbcloud.com, and comparative benchmark results, since you advertise your performance.

It's quite active. They just aren't using GitHub pull requests in their workflow, which is what GitHub Pulse measures. https://github.com/topling/toplingdb/commits/memtable_as_log...

Thank you, we have fixed READM, now it's very easy to start with ToplingDB by the tutorial in README.
