“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“SQL + markdown = BI dashboards. Version control your analytics like code. Genius simplicity.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“For teams that think in SQL, Evidence produces better dashboards than clicking through Metabase or Tableau.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
“Code-based BI aligns analytics with engineering best practices — version control, review, testing.”
