  Yes I understand that, but I was looking more to better understand what kind of projects require this kind of tech. I can think of adtech as one industry, are there any others?

    We've got some preliminary plans to use it for a monitoring application. We want something with high uptime and resiliency that's going to be relatively easy for us to learn and deploy. We've used PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB more in the past, but those were for smaller applications that didn't have significant uptime requirements. We could figure things out with PostgreSQL and decide on a fault-tolerant setup, deal with sharding, etc. But it seems like CockroachDB will be an easier path forward, and also make scaling much simpler.
