Then Badger was released, and it was shown to be more than just a pure-go version of LSM-tree stores like RocksDB / LevelDB, it actually was faster than RocksDB. Much faster. I knew I wanted to build something with Badger in the future, and when an issue was opened to add Badger support to Bolthold, I jumped on it.
