Here's a different take on databases.. Which is easiest to manage for a shop with minimal DB knowledge.
That seems like a scary situation, .. and you're correct. It doesn't change the reality though, heh.
So how does Cockroach compare to Postgres, or Maria, TiDB, etc on ease of management? Any thoughts?
- manigandham 9y agoIf you want rock-solid stability? Just use Postgres. Decades of production use, experts easily available, and scales very high on a single node. Replication and backup are solved and there are lots of extensions for more functionality. You can also try the hosted options which all cloud vendors have, or I recommend Aiven. Don't use any distributed relational database unless you actually have a need for it, like horizontal scalability for massive data, multi-regional access, or 100% uptime guarantees.
- notheguyouthink 9y agoAppreciate the insight
- truth_seeker 9y agoHonorable mention - CitusDB It installs as Postgres extension and supports parallelization of queries across nodes. https://www.citusdata.com/ https://www.citusdata.com/
