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.

Is it bad to create a publicly accessible RDS database for my serverless web app?
For example, when you create a serverless postgres database with a platform like CockroachDB or Neon, you effectively get a connection string with a strong password. Anyone can connect to your database from anywhere so long as they have the right connection string. There are no security settings in these services to change this behavior.

Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
> Yes you can on the android emulator. The biggest issue is compu arch in that case.
I can also download VirtualBox and run all Windows programs, that would mean that all Windows apps are Linux apps?
> Yes you can for the most part
You can't statically link glibc: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/3392
glibc can break stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/08/valve-dev-understandab...
I had binaries break because the newer version if openssl was put under a slightly different name.

How do small SaaS's handle databases?
Also, worth noting, if you're already using PostgreSQL (or plan to) you might want to take a look at https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ they have a free tier too and CockroachDB has a PostgreSQL interface.

Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it?
I know that some projects like cockroach use custom build tools like bazel. But we actually really like to use to be able to build our projects simply with the great go toolchain and don't really aim to dive deep into custom build solutions.

Eli5: Why do companies use the products of Oracle to store information, when they can just use spreadsheets like Excel, or make their own spreadsheet software?
CockroachDB is designed to be globally distributed. It has to handle causality when resolving collisions. It has to account for having a write operation to arrive after another and still have time priority because it was sent out a few milliseconds earlier.

rage - a minimalistic load testing tool
Cockroachdb created a go runtime patch which measures the Grunning time of a goroutine: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pull/82356. It doesn't entirely solve the problem though.

Data Engineering Tools in Go
Our entire backend is written in Go. We've built a platform that allows other companies to offer automatic data syncing to their customers' data warehouses. Go works great for building distributed systems like this (see K8s). We're not the only ones in the space building data intensive applications with Go. Pachyderm, Pinecone, Cockroach Labs and are all also doing it. We've been quite happy with how Go has worked for us.
