I’m currently evaluating this as an alternative to vitess + percona mysql. But strict seralizability has its limitations.

This is a crazy multiple! Anyone from the Cockroach team up for sharing what the key innovations were that are driving the improved performance?

Someone should create a fork with work-safe name. CockroachDB brings connotation of cockroaches, who are known by eating almost everything and living almost everywhere.

That's the idea though — your data will be hard to kill.

Why as an alternative to vitess? Are you hitting limits with vitess?

I have to admit, the name does set me on edge slightly. shudder

In their presentation they have it abbreviated as CRDB, so that might be a viable direction without pain.
