I always took that to be a reference to "it's so robust, it'll survive nuclear winter," which is pretty cool if true. The last database standing after all other species die off.
- dTal 5y agoFun fact: the supposed extreme hardiness of cockroaches is something of a myth, and in particular they are not fond of cold (hence their affinity for human domiciles!) They should rename to TardigradeDB.
- jakear 5y agoTheir nuclear hardiness however has been experimentally validated [1], though flour beetles survived even better than cockroaches. Either way, both using CockroachDB and participating in this thread put cockroaches on my mind a lot more than I'd really prefer. +1 for TardigradeDB.

- wtetzner 5y agoMaybe they should have named it "TwinkieDB".
