> Are there any docs on setting up a Redwood database? For the use-case I’m considering, we would probably have small data volume pretty often, so I was testing out the memory engine because I assumed this would yield the best performance.

I’m not familiar with redwood, but based on this discussion the docs are still missing:

That thread should contain all information to setup a cluster with redwood. If you are using the operator for managing the cluster, you just have to set the storage engine in the FoundationDBCluster spec: [fdb-kubernetes-operator/docs/cluster\_spec.md at main · FoundationDB/fdb-kubernetes-operator · GitHub](https://github.com/FoundationDB/fdb-kubernetes-operator/blob/main/docs/cluster_spec.md#databaseconfiguration). Based on the thread the storage engine should be `ssd-redwood-1-experimental`.
