-## Ending our Reliance on RocksDB

-RocksDB has been removed from the **mutable ID tracker** and all **immutable payload indices**, which are both internal components of Qdrant. In practical terms, this means: less RocksDB, more control, faster internals.

-Even though RocksDB is great for general-purpose use cases, it hasn’t been an ideal fit for Qdrant. The two biggest issues are: **1) the lack of control over the files it creates** and **2) unpredictable timing of data compaction**.
-
-These limitations can lead to issues like latency spikes that are difficult to diagnose or mitigate. Our long-term goal is to fully eliminate RocksDB to gain complete control over Qdrant’s performance and storage behavior. **That’s also why we built GridStore**—a key-value engine designed specifically for our needs.
-
-> The last remaining use of RocksDB is within **mutable payload indices**, and that too will be removed in a future release, fully cutting the dependency.

-#### Optimized Memory Usage in Immutable Segments
 
 We revamped how the ID tracker and related metadata structures store data in memory. This can result in a notable RAM reduction for very large datasets (hundreds of millions of vectors).
