Reviewer scorecard
“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“The query builder is powerful and the SDK integration is clean. Better for product analytics than Google Analytics.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“The free tier with 20M events is generous. Best pure product analytics tool if you don't need session replay.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
“Not relevant for creative work. It's a product analytics tool for PMs and engineers.”
