This seems to be a trend that I see across open source projects. They blog about features that Oracle has had for 25 years as if it's something new. Can someone enlighten me as to why there's interest around X DB's implementation of something that's been built dozens of times before?

With all due respect, Oracle doesn't provide ACID semantics across a cluster spanning several continents...

Isn't that exactly what "Extended Distance Oracle RAC Clusters" provide?

No. That still uses ASM. It's effectively low level IO mirroring and needs fast data-centre interconnects and low-latency.

I work a lot with RAC and it introduces more problems than it solves tbh.

It's almost a meme. I was often told Companies RAC, experience RAC-caused outages, and then they de-RAC.
