 As such, your Garage cluster should be configured appropriately for good performance:
 
 - use Garage v0.8.0 or higher with the [LMDB database engine](@documentation/reference-manual/configuration.md#db-engine-since-v0-8-0).
-  With the default Sled database engine, your database could quickly end up taking tens of GB of disk space.

-Sled was the only database engine up to Garage v0.7.0. Performance issues and

 Performance characteristics of the different DB engines are as follows:
