CockroachDB - Distributed SQL

[bigredseo]

Read an interesting article this morning all about Cockroach DB, a distributed SQL framework designed to handle scale and could potentially be a competitor for OracleDB.

Anyone ever heard of Cockroach DB? How much of a game-changer could this be in your web hosting world?

I can see the potential for some of the applications that we use, but they're process-intensive transactional websites - not really ideal for shared hosting

It seems this thread went quite unnoticed, but in the last 3 years Cockroach DB seems to have gained popularity. Anyone using it? The only downside I see is the data sovereignty, because they push it as a cloud instance rather than self-hosted.
