Why not distributed databases like CockroachDB?
- tybit 3y agoCockroachDB is presumably what they’re referring to in: > For Postgres-compatible NewSQL, we would’ve had one of the largest single-cluster footprints for cloud-managed distributed Postgres. We didn’t want to bear the burden of being the first customer to hit certain scaling issues I find their claim a bit hard to believe.
