It's been a pleasure to work on this project, there are so much things to do but we're definitely in the right track, awesome team! Congrats to everyone

I wonder if they are using Jepsen, or would consider it!

SchwKatze•7mo ago

Currently not, my guess is that since we're in a very early stage jepsen would find so much errors that simply wouldn't worth.

Definitely we'll test it with jepsen someday but the database must be way more mature.

Looks like some real issues with trademark violation in the way they are pitching their product.

Yep, the implied officiality of "the next evolution of SQLite" is creepy and deceptive positioning.

Their "about" page explains a lot — they're disastrously top-heavy with investors and have been in a holding pattern for 3 years (according to CrunchBase), and so don't have a choice but to kill the king or die trying.

there is a zero percent chance the significant users of SQLite are going to switch from to some shit VC backed re-implemented knockoff

the deceptive marketing to try and replace an honest bedrock of computing is disgusting

I don't know if your prediction is correct.

What if it has CDC which makes it easy to build a central data warehouse?

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

Seems odd to name the database the same as the company and saas offering.

Melphin•7mo ago

Interesting. Even with DST, I still question their reliability. I don't think even modern techniques can beat SQLite's decades of testing.

I tried to add it to ClickBench, but the first CREATE TABLE statement leads to panic in Rust: https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso/issues/2058
