I'm not OP, but they were upgrading from Postgres 9.6, which at least implies that this initial db was from ~2017.

This is barely past the initial release of Cockroach. It would have been kind of crazy for the Retool team to use an experimental db with a lack of history when building up their product (that was not dependent on experimental new features)

Baidu migrated from an old MySQL cluster to CockroachDB for their 40TBs of databases, now runs on 20 clusters.

When does it stop being experimental to you?

I don't think they're calling Cockroach experimental right now - rather that it was experimental in 2017.
Yeah, but they didn’t upgrade in 2017, they upgraded now, it’s in the first sentence. They had ample opportunity to migrate
