> Azure offers a large number of configuration options that can be tricky to get right

That's basically the summary of Azure. I think all that complexity ends up hurting more than it helps, not just on the end user side, but in terms of lower reliability from the provider side.

What a load of nonsense. So cloud provides X doesn’t like the test because the defaults of their services do not provide the best performance and on top of that the benchmark used doesn’t present them with the result that shows them in the best possible light.

It’s like listening to failed beauty pageant contenders

Thanks Cockroach team!

I'm very excited about the possibility of moving to you guys, especially since it's a drop-in replacement for Postgres. The one thing holding us back today is postgis replacement. We rely heavily on it for location calculations and route path saving.

Since you're one of the authors: TPC_RR is a typo.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (and also commented on Cockroach’s original draft post, that this is a follow up to).

Edit: I am a chump, I misread TPC_RR as TCP_RR and responded. Leaving this here for shame. Thanks to jsolson for pointing out my mistake.

I’m not sure if the post was edited, but TCP_RR is definitely not a typo. You may be more used to seeing TCP_CRR which opens a new connection and then a round trip, but for raw network latency netperf’s TCP_RR benchmark is probably the best tool available.
