CursusDB – A new scalable distributed document oriented database
Seems like you could do the same with rqlite [1], since SQLite supports JSON.

rqlite[1] creator here, happy to answer any questions about rqlite, this latest release, and how it works.

Adding new database engine support
I found simple distributed RQlite https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite based on raft and sqlite. How hard is to add it?

So, you want to deploy on the edge?
rqlite[1] creator here, happy to answer any questions. rqlite also supports read-only nodes, which can also help with reads at the "edge". It probably wouldn't scale to 100s of nodes, it is an option.
"rqlite supports adding read-only nodes. You can use this feature to add read scalability to the cluster if you need a high volume of reads, or want to distribute copies of the data nearer to clients – but don’t want those nodes counted towards the quorum. These types of nodes are also known as non-voting nodes."

A MySQL compatible database engine written in pure Go
With Vitess likely merging a lot of its binaries into a single unified binary: https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/7471#issuecomment-...
... it would be a wild future if Vitess replaced the underlying MySQL engine with this as long as the performance is good enough.

The challenges of supporting foreign key constraints
Thank you for the compliment!
We recently started adding support for CTEs in Vitess! You can check out https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/pull/14321 if you want to see some technical details of the implementation.
For now, we have added preliminary support by converting them to derived tables internally, but we believe that we need to make CTEs first-class citizens themselves of query planning. Once we make that change, we can look towards supporting recursive CTEs.
This however will take some time, but then, all good things do!

PlanetScale Scaler Pro
This is great news. I strolled around https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/12967.
Are there any public discussions of more trade-offs vitess has to make to enable fks?

What is the best database technology to use to create a new chat app today?
MySQL + Vitess I noticed Slack gets by using MySQL because they're using Vites. From Slack's post (https://slack.engineering/scaling-datastores-at-slack-with-vitess/) it seems like they choose Vites because it facilitated a smooth transition because it's built on top of MySQL.

How can I avoid duplicate API calls in a serverless infra?
This sounds very similar to the connection pooling done by vitess https://vitess.io/.

Want to avoid MySQL but find PlanetScale really appealing
A lot of this is possible thanks to the magic of Vitess.
