CockroachDB is a really cool product, but I think by all accounts it is still nowhere near performant enough to be used in production.

  Alternative is Google Spanner. Also still new, but already in GA for 5 months now.

    The spanner setup that can match PG on a high end x86 cluster will run way over 100K month

    Well, at least Spanner has already been in development for 10 years.

  Or, you know, use something like Cassandra that’s used at massive scales already (by Apple, Netflix, instagram, uber, Walmart, IBM, etc), and scales linearly to make future growth trivial. Bonus points that rm -rf on a Cassandra server isn’t a problem, which seems like it could have been useful for gitlab.
