Why wouldn’t I use cockroachDB?
- mb4nck 5y agoI don't know, maybe you should. CockroachDB seems to be a distributed database system written in Go which has implemented a Postgres query/wire protocol compatibility layer. PolarDB is a Postgres fork actually using the Postgres codebase and extending it to a distributed database system. Maybe one day they can unfork because it's possible to implement PolarDB on top of Postgres as an extension and/or they contribute/get all their changes into Postgres core.
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoMaybe because you need the as-a-service aspect and the licensing does not allow it.
