CDB is a really cool db for the time I've been playing with it (just a few months I think).
That said, I'd really appreciate if they'd launch a hosted DBaaS. By that I mean, more in line with dynamodb or documentdb instead of say MySQL on AWS for example.
I know it's on their timeline, but dbs generally get selected during the start of the projects and unless absolutely necessary, companies don't want to change dbs.
CockroachDB employee here. DBaaS is definitely on our roadmap. There are a lot of moving pieces to building out DBaaS, so our focus first is on honing our core product. In the meantime, we are working on making it as easy as possible to deploy CockroachDB across different cloud vendors and with orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
