Why is it impossible to kill CockroachDB? ⚡
I had this question for a long time and who better to answer this than the co-founder himself? hence I hosted Ben Darnell for a deep-tech conversation on CockroachDB and Distributed Databases.
We went into details of all three layers - distributed storage, distributed execution, and the language interface of Cockroach. Two things that blew my mind were how they
1. built SQL layer on top of distributed ordered KV pairs
2. provide strong consistency even when the DB spans the entire world
give it a watch -

ps: while discussing the future of databases, Ben suggested a really interesting idea that will not only blow your mind but could inspire you to kick off an amusing open-source project.
By the way, they do have offices in Bangalore, so if you are looking to work on databases, check out their open positions. I can vouch for them :)
