Hey HN, I'm the creator of OrioleDB, an extension for PostgreSQL that serves as a drop-in replacement for the default Heap storage engine. It is designed to address scalability bottlenecks in PostgreSQL's buffer manager and reduce the WAL, enabling better utilization of modern multi-core CPUs and high‑performance storage systems.

We are getting closer to GA. This release includes:

- An index bridge to support all indexes that Heap supports

- Support for rewinding recent changes in the database.

- Tablespaces support

- Fillfactor support

- An orioledb_tree_stat() function for space utilization statistics

- Support for tables with more than 32 columns.

We also show several performance improvements using the TPC-C benchmarks. Overall, OrioleDB is much faster than Heap, also outperforming other Postgres providers.

We would love more people testing OrioleDB. The fastest way to do that is to use the docker image provided:

    docker run -d --name orioledb -p 5432:5432 orioledb/orioledb
