hey, i am currently building a data management system, with a self-made data backend similar to yours. I am currently considering switchting to lakefs as data backend and add my own functionality on top. I do however have a question: Did you ever consider to provide support for cockroachdb as an alternative to postgres?

Hey @Marius Dieckmann ! 👋 Indeed we have! We started with Postgres because it's reliable, popular and well adopted (as well as being offered as a managed service by practically all major cloud providers) We do have plans to refactor that area to both simplify lakeFS’ state management and support more backends. For the full technical details, this proposal is a good starting point. Adding CockroachDB to that list is an awesome idea!

Thanks for the quick reply. This looks fairly interesting, will try if it fits my needs, but it looks very good so far.

great! any feedback is always welcome 🙂
