Reviewer scorecard
“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“Sub-1KB script, no cookies, GDPR-compliant. The ethical analytics choice that actually has a great UI.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“For most websites, Plausible provides all the analytics you need without the privacy guilt of Google Analytics.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
“Privacy regulations are only getting stricter. Cookie-free analytics will be the default, not the alternative.”
