I don't follow their product closely. Who are their competitors?

(If I were in the market for their database and the alternatives were close in parity and price, I'd be likely to choose a competitor for the name not being "cockroach" alone.)

I'm curious what it is about the name Cockroach that turns you off. I assume the name is intended to give the impression that the DB is hard to kill.

Other globally consistent NewSQL DBs: Spanner, TiDB, Yugabyte, SingleStore

Partitioning for existing DBs: Citus for Postgres and Vitess for MySQL.

Snowflake apparently just started to target transactional workloads with UniStore.
