So it’s basically a CQL/Cassandra alternative. It’s interesting there’s also no comparison page to Cassandra or Amazon Keyspaces.
I also now don’t get why they are emphasizing PostgreSQL here when they should be emphasizing CQL compatibility. Being compatible with Postgres wire protocol but not being relational is strange.
- dalyons 2y agoWhat? Cassandra is a very different technology semantically. From data design to consistency models, to transactions, it’s entirely different, don’t know how you drew this conclusion.
- xuancanh 2y agoMy guess is from the customer's perspective, DSQL seems to have too many limitations, making it feel more like an enhanced version of a NoSQL database with SQL semantics, ACID transactions, and multi-region capabilities rather than a truly distributed version of a relational database. It seems the DSQL team doesn't fully understand why relational databases remain widely popular today. What makes them great is their flexibility, which lets them handle all kinds of use cases and adapt as things change. But all the limits on transaction size, column size, etc.., and too many missing capabilities pretty much take away all the big advantages relational databases usually offer.
