I appreciate the very even-handed way this was written, not fanning flames but bringing it back to a choice between trade-offs that all DB developers can/should make.

I am a creator of SpacetimeDB. Several assertions in this article are simply wrong. You can read our response here: https://spacetimedb.com/blog/benchmarking

I don’t mean to be unkind. Let me say at the outset that I have zero dogs in this fight and am not qualified to respond to the substance of your rebuttal. However, I think the tone of your rebuttal completely misses the point made by the OP.

Nobody is asking for my advice here, but if I were asked I would tell them they have a blind spot wrt to outside perception. Perhaps they’re too much in their own bubble, or overly locked into an us-versus-them posture.

Vicent claimed our database wasn't ACID. I would not say the tone of it is especially even handed, and the technical accuracy of it borders on libel.
