I'm basically here to ask a similar question, whether this is aimed as an modern alternative to Postgresql, since they don't clearly state this on the OP news announcement.

To me, at least for now, it seems more like a SQL enabled etcd or similar. They aren't currently claiming performance numbers that make it sound suitable for general purpose relational database scenarios. A SQL aware etcd like thing has a lot of appeal though, and I assume the performance work is coming.
