1. The full feature of GreptimeDB needs:
◦ Object storage as the backend storage.
◦ Local disk(or cloud block storage) as cache storage, and it's necessary for performance.
◦ RDS(or etcd) as the metadata storage.
2. For now, the greptimedb can not be embedded;
3. You can deploy multiple greptimedb instances (cluster or standalone) in the same object storage with different bucket directories. Also, for performance isolation, it's better to deploy a dedicated meta storage for each greptimedb instance.
