- 1-6 6y agoLike Snowflake?
- Karunamon 6y agoOr CockroachDB
- mulmen 6y agoIt is as resilient as cockroaches? I don’t see the problem. Postgres uses an elephant as a mascot because “elephants don't forget”. What’s the difference? We are literally on the web. Look out for spiders!
- Karunamon 6y agoI agree, don't get me wrong. But look up every single thread on CockroachDB to hit HN, and there's an inevitable subthread of people whinging about the name.
