Can someone give a brief pros/cons between Cockroach DB Core and Google Cloud Spanner?

Can someone explain how is/can it be better than MariaDB Galera or MySQL Group Replication?

Cue the comments stating that no one will use this because the name is bad.

But the more important question is "Does it webscale?" /s

Are you suggesting the name is a feature, not a bug?

literally a bug! Also, I enjoyed the beta announcement title: CockroachDB skitters into Beta.

Good work y'all! I hope Cockroach Labs continued success!

What advantages do I have using Cockroach compared to Postgres, Cassandra, Rethink or MongoDB? (I know that all of them are completely different, that's part of the question)

We have an comparison page[1] that might potentially be what you're looking for.

You can't deploy your MariaDB Galera/MySQL Group Replication systems across the Pacific and then expect it to further scale from there.

Do you have any performance comparisons as well?

Maybe it's both.

Just call it C9DB if you don't want to use the c-word.

Open source vs not open source. Cockroach still in it's infancy vs spanner. I'm sure there are a variety of things here, but they mostly aim to solve a similar problem with a slightly different approach.

Some of the big details relate to not requiring atomic clocks: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/living-without-atomic-clo...

Here's their comparison chart, though naturally it's biased for things-cockroach-does: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/cockroachdb-in-comparison...

(I guess you can't write to Spanner with SQL? That seems like a big difference. No INSERT/UPDATE?)
