Databases are legitimately the worst part of every company.
All the new, and much better tech is so fucking expensive.
CockroachDB has the worst sales people that can’t even demonstrate their own benchmarks.
Spanner is just unaffordable for most.
Postgres/MySQL are great but making them scale for write heavy workloads is a pain. I also hate managing primary/failover systems. We have consensus algorithms now. Let’s just use them.
