For me, JSON wasn't the important part. I wanted to have a distributed database, where a single server could disappear completely at any time and my customers would not lose any data.

There are remarkably few solutions that deliver this, though many claim to. Even fewer have been verified with Jepsen. And for all the hoopla about distributed computing using Kubernetes, I find it puzzling that so little emphasis is placed on data integrity.

Changefeeds have worked great for me as well, and I'm still trying to work out what to replace them with.
