there was poc of sqlite on top of FDB. There is also sql layer that Apple did not open source that they use at scale. Just seems a wasted opportunity.

- endisneigh 3y agoIt’s because you introduce a lot of latency. Cockroachdb for example (which is a great db) has a lot of latency compared to Postgres. At the time of its release it was probably hard to justify having an order of magnitude more latency than competitors (of course they were not fault tolerant, but still).
