I’m currently evaluating this as an alternative to vitess + percona mysql. But strict seralizability has its limitations.

What do you mean "strict seralizability has its limitations", you need something stricter? Or you have a need for something weaker for some reason?

In the same way single threaded has limitations.

Why as an alternative to vitess? Are you hitting limits with vitess?

[gigatexal]

Because I believe the overhead to not be worth it. I’d rather a database be cloud native and have things like sharding and scaling built in and the coordination of that built in. I grok the CockroachDB way of doing things much more than how Vitess is and shocking fact most companies aren’t Google in size and don’t really need a Vitess or CockroachDB but get swept up in the Cloud,Cloud,Cloud! craze. The seemingly brittle nature of vtablets, vtgates, etc versus something built in is valuable to me.
