We invited around 80 guests from 20+ local companies, including LinkedIn, Twitter, Dropbox, Square, Pinterest, MapR, Microsoft and IBM. Finally around 50 guests showed up, totaling around 60% show-up rate.

Obviously, many applications need a resilient and distributed storage solution, not just single-node storage. We are considering how to approach this issue. When will be the next meetup? We haven't decided yet. We will see whether the community is interested in it and how it can help RocksDB grow. If you have any questions or feedback for the meetup or RocksDB, please let us know in [our Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/). ### Comments **[Rajiv](geetasen@gmail.com)** Have any of these talks been recorded and if so will they be published? **[Igor Canadi](icanadi@fb.com)** Yes, I think we plan to publish them soon.
