Any thoughts about this? It seems to be a new database system designed
from scratch to take advantage of the growth in RAM size (data sets that
fit in memory) and the availability of SSD drives. It claims to be "the
world's fastest database."

It's hard to see at a glance if this is a robust system suitable for
monetary transactions, or just a fast-but-lossy system that you'd use for
social twitter.
