Cockroach DB

Post by Pigeon » Sun May 14, 2017 7:26 pm

CockroachDB, an open source, fault-tolerant SQL database with horizontal scaling and strong consistency across nodes -- and a name few people will likely forget -- is now officially available. Cockroach Labs, the company behind its development, touts CockroachDB as a "cloud native" database solution -- a system engineered to run as a distributed resource. Version 1.0 is available in both basic and for-pay editions, and both boast features that will appeal to enterprises.

The company is rolling the dice with its handling of the enterprise edition by also making those components open source and trusting that enterprises will pay for what they use in production.

I can see this being an issue on a Raid 5 setup.


A horrible name. It's like the entire dev team hated their own creation.

They develop it and the money guy gives it a name later.

No salt mines, they go to work at the roach motel.

It's the company name also. Maybe a new trend.
