> At Shopify, we had some serious issues at the time (~2014) with either LMDB or the Go driver that we couldn't resolve after several months

Is there an issue/bug for this somewhere?

I can’t remember off the top of my head. We had an issue where every couple of months the database would quickly grow to consume the entire disk. We checked that there were no long running read transactions and did some other debugging but couldn’t figure it out. Swapping out for Bolt seemed to fix that issue.

I haven’t heard of anyone else with the same issue since then so I assume it’s probably fixed.
