CockroachDB 2.0 released
I am genuinely interested in using CockroachDB as a primary datastore but feel like I have been burned too many times by hopping on board with a young database.<p>I tried lucene based databases that offered amazing search capability but were riddled with data corruption issues. Then there was RethinkDB which was very promising but ran out of funding.<p>I am skeptical that a networked database with multiple nodes can match the performance of a single master database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server. I did a quick benchmark of CockroachDB 1.x and MySQL last year and found that CockroachDB was 5-10x slower on simple CRUD queries: <a href="https://github.com/caleblloyd/MySqlCockroachBench/wiki/Concurrency-Benchmark-Results" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/caleblloyd/MySqlCockroachBench/wiki/Concu...</a> Are there any good independent benchmarks of performance?<p>According to crunchbase, Cockroach Labs has raised $53.5m (RethinkDB had only raised $12m). Is there evidence that Cockroach Labs is on track to make money and is going to survive?<p>If the company is healthy and the performance is verified as close to a major RDBMS, I would be comfortable trying it out as a primary datastore.  If those questions can't be definitely answered right now, I'll probably continue to wait for the company and the tech to mature.
