Solving PostgreSQL wicked problems
summary
PostgreSQL gets a new storage engine implemented as an extension plus a small core patch that exposes an extensibility API, claiming to eliminate decades‑old pains like bloat, xid wraparound, and excessive write‑amplification. The project called oreodb reimplements storage from scratch, adds block level compression and MVCC-friendly layouts, reports multi‑fold scalability gains on modern hardware, and demonstrates the engine running inside Postgres and resolving the cited pathologies.
