The thing I really don't get is why CockroachDB is avoid benchmarking with it's rival tidb (https://github.com/cockroachdb/docs/issues/1412). tidb already pretty mature, used in many big companies (Let's say, Didi, which on the similar scale data with Uber, and banks).
Even if I like CockroachDB's pg sql more, it would be helpful to have the comparison/benchmark to show something more.
Thanks to GFW, many of my friends learned the usage of VPN/SSH/NAT/hosts at a very early age, which benefits a lot when taking computer network course. (>﹏<.)
