SQL Server 2019 introduces Accelerated Database Recovery and a persistent version store that cut rollback time dramatically — a 100k-row delete goes from ~31 seconds to 11 seconds, and rollback from ~31 seconds to ~6 milliseconds in the demo — while log usage drops by over two thirds. Tempdb metadata can move to in-memory tempdb metadata to eliminate page latch contention (a 20-connection ostress run took 1m50s without it). Support for persistent log buffer / PMEM enables hybrid buffer pool and Linux-only enlightened I/O; Intel Optane 512GB sticks cost ~\$19k.
