What a perfect time to rename it to something reasonable

I came here to say "I hope with 1.0 we get a respectable name".

Perhaps "Tardigrade" if they wish to continue with the "small thing that will survive"

Also, how's the performance nowadays?

Personally I just struggled to rename a small github library with Why don't they just do what porn companies do, create a professional sounding parent company that can interact with various enterprises while leaving the underlying implementations opaque?

The company decided to remove direct access to their transactional key-value store and force interactions through the SQL layer. From this comment in the FAQ, it looks like the overhead for some mutations is small: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/frequently-asked-question...

Do range queries on a simple table also translate to underlying key-value range queries with minimal overhead?

Firefox worked out ok and that was a very fast switch.

Normally I scorn suggestions like this. But I have had times in my life where I had to live with cockroaches and I really do have a visceral response to this worthy product's name. Seriously it's the only reason I haven't tried it myself. Dumb, I know, but there it is.
