Why would you use spanner inspired system for medium size business with low query volume :)?

I like the idea of a self healing cluster where each node is equal and the amount of work required to maintain and migrate it is kept to a minimum.

I misspoke, i meant with moderate latency requirements. I have a product in mind where the queries don't require high performance. Instead i value availability without babysitting.

Do I need to take you seriously?! You don't have to play a "victim" role here You can just keep scratching someone's back. "Medium sized businesses" don't stop doing their business because of CockroachDB. They were able to do just fine with whatever systems/databases they were using prior to CockroachDB existence.
