It's not entirely clear from the website or the documentation, but this seems to be build exclusively for MySQL?
Yes we are MySQL compatible.
Can I install this locally? Will it work without an internet connection? Is it fully open source? From what I can tell, the answer to all three questions is no. Is it yet another example of vendor lock-in? Yes.
Doesn’t look like there’s Postgres compatibility.
I like the cool things but I can’t migrate to MySQL just because of this.
Am I stupid or misunderstanding something fundamentally here? Is just a hosted DB or something like that?
Scaling down to 0 opens up a world of opportunities when it comes to team development workflows. The idea of quick environments per pull request is within reach.
Not to mention that it scales with you.
The one thing I'm curious about is how it compares with CockroachDB
Sounds interesting but there is not enough information for me to get a picture of what this actually means. Thought I was gonna be clever and install it, run it and see what it is all about but I can't figure out how to get it. One link is "sign up" and the other is "contact sales" but I'm not interested in either, I'm interested in "Download" but I cannot find it anywhere. Am I stupid or misunderstanding something f…
[EDIT] on reading further in their docs, my suspicion is that their "branching" concept is a hell of a lot more limited than I believed at first. I initially took it to mean you could have multiple active schemas working on your data at once—instead, I think it's more like exporting just the schema of your DB and importing it to a fresh DB, which is nothing new and doesn't run into all kinds of operational and security issues the other workflow would. I'm fairly sure all the actual magic is in the schema diffing, and the docs make me think even that isn't as fully-magical as one might hope.
Wondering will we see something like this for Postgres? I like the cool things but I can’t migrate to MySQL just because of this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sounds great! One question about pricing -- I can't tell if the "free" tier costs are for one month, or ongoing. That is, do you get the free tier amounts for one month and then pay from then on, or is that level of service free from then on?
The free tier provides the stated usage levels at no cost, indefinitely. So if you were to stay under the quotas of data size, writes and reads, you don't pay at all. When you go over, you just pay for what you use. No servers, no pre-committed capacity, just simply pay for what you use.
