> Cockroach is just distributed MVCC from the 1980s Yeah. Not so much. I can't think of anything that used the 2 phase transactions over independent consensus groups (aka spanner) pattern from the 80's. Likewise there was nothing like Yabandeh transactions in 1980 because no one actually understood serializable snapshot isolation then (but several projects mistakenly thought they had, which was Yabandeh et all's entire motivation). HyPer is neat work, but that it is interesting does not mean CockroachDB is not also.
