Cons: less mature, much newer tech based on ephemeral CRDTs combined with a distributed commit graph. Less mature ecosystem, tooling, etc.

Pros: - Branch based deployment so multiple versions can coexist nicely in prod - Completely synchronous API that fully hides the networking - Clients can securely restore a crashed server - Your DB functions as a signed audit log that prevents cheating (similar to blockchain) - Stronger consistency guarantees that simplify development
