I'm surprised that this article is not even mentioning one NewSQL DB like:

- Google Spanner

- CockroachDB

- TiDB

- YugabyteDB

- FaunaDB

Can it be that those are so little known by most developers?

Who needs this kind of scale besides FAANG-like companies?

Why would you start some garage SaaS with YugabyteDB?

You know, I never thought of it that way, but it does sound kind of funny actually.

I'm sure you could get away with starting your garage SaaS with MongoDB though, so maybe why not...?

FaunaDB is NoSQL, it’s transactional, but NoSQL nevertheless.
