Check out https://eclipsestore.io (previously named Microstream) if you're into Java and interested in some of the ideas presented in this article. You use regular objects, such as Records, and regular code, such as java.util.stream, for processing, and the library does snapshotting to disk.

I haven't tried it out but just thinking of how many fewer organizational hoops I would have to jump through makes we want to try it out:

- No ordering a database from database operations.

- No ordering a port opening from network operations.

- No ordering of certificates.

- The above times 3 for development, test and production.

- Not having to run database containers during development.

I think the sweet spot for me would be in services that I don't expect to grow beyond a single node and there is an acceptance for a small amount of downtime during service windows.
