Lots of talk of CockroachDB in this thread but no mention of vitess.io? Shame. While I don’t care for MySQL the folks at planetscaleDB (hosted vitess) are doing amazing work. So are the CRDB folks.
- ksec 5y agoBecause HN is predominantly a Postgres and Anti Oracle community, so the use of MySQL doesn't fit their ideology. Which is unfortunate because I think Vitess and Planetscale is quite nice.
- gigatexal 5y agore: Oracle Oracle's super heavy handed approach to sales and extracting every nickel from their cusotmers likely makes them a lot of enemies even though technologically the Oracle Enterprise DBs are likely very capable.
