I know there's an issue about this but it doesn't really indicate Hasura's intentions regarding it:

Is supporting CockroachDB something Hasura is actively working on?



It’s on the cards!

Don’t want to spread ourselves too thin too early. Also working with the yugabyte folks closely to have Hasura supported with their 2.0 release.

I certainly understand that, but I wonder since CockroachDB is essentially Postgres, if it wouldn't be easier to ensure compatibility from the start. It seems like it'd be easier to just avoid using special Postgres features that aren't in CockroachDB than to go back later and re-write all your code that relies on those features.


Definitely. That’s why cockroach & yugabyte that speak Postgres but are black magic underneath are a great target. However, it’s not fully compatible quite yet https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues?q=is%3Aopen+...

Citus / timescale / pipelinedb are much easier and we already support timescale and pipelinedb well. Citus with native support for their distribution columns is going to happen soon too! These are packaged as Postgres extensions which is definitely first priority for us before moving to databases that speak Postgres and eventually to other databases as well. :)

So you're waiting for CockroachDB to implement features before you suppoort it?
