Why does zeebe not use a database?

Camunda 8 Topics Discussion & Questions

Any detail reason on this?

Yes, a database is the hardest thing to scale horizontally. Zeebe uses stream-processing and event-sourcing as paradigms, rather than mutation a centralised database.

Thanks，this is helpful.
I think , maybe Zeebe could use TIDB which is an opensource distributed HTAP database as storage in the future. https://github.com/pingcap/tidb
