So ZeroDB is a fork of Zope&#x27;s ZODB! I had watched a ZeroDB fintech pitch on youtube a few weeks back and had no idea. I can understand the USP: cloud DB hosting for sensitive data. Even though I&#x27;m a long time Pythonista I can&#x27;t help wondering about the performance implications. IIRC ZODB did have some C optimisations last time I looked at the code, which was back in 2001&#x2F;2 (yikes!)
