I was once thinking about where could I use this tool, but nothing really came to my mind. Any interesting use cases or stories to share?

We've got a blog about a few use cases that you might find interesting.

This seems so obviously useful and surprising it's taken industry so long to get here. But honestly I'm hesitant to go for something that isn't like a wrapper around the underlying database, just because those are notoriously difficult to implement correctly. Postgres has been around a long time, and has been battle tested, etc.

Yes, it's definitely an uphill battle to launch a new DB for this reason. Our current customers are people who need version control bad enough they're willing to take a chance on a younger implementation.

That said, we have 99.99% correctness according to sqllogictest:
