This is a great article. I read the jepsen crdb analysis long ago, but never understood exactly what was wrong. This describes it (and defends) really well.
I don't use it (yet) but every interaction I've had with Cockroach as a company has been great. Even to the point where I had a marketer for a not-quite-direct competitor to Cockroach whisper to me "You know, for your use case, you should probably just use Cockroach..."
