Reviewer scorecard
“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“Self-hostable, open source, and genuinely all-in-one. Replaces Amplitude + LaunchDarkly + Hotjar at a fraction of the cost.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“The free tier is absurdly generous. Open source means you can audit exactly what data goes where.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
“PostHog is the open-source Amplitude. The all-in-one approach reduces tool sprawl and keeps data unified.”
