Yugabyte v. Cockroach analysis: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/unpacking-competitive-ben...

Nice. Seems a bit disingenuous on yugabyte to claim they’re better performant in light of this.

Just want to say that I love your docs. Haven’t used cockroachDB just yet but the docs are clean, easy to follow, devoid of marketing and focused on facts.

Second that, the CockroachDB documentation is excellent. All the DDL and DML statements are clearly documented and with examples, that's really cool.

Thanks, that is exactly the kind of third party analysis I was looking for to add some color to all of Yugabyte's claims
