In a video, I shared my journey of enhancing my Go programming skills by delving into CockroachDB's engineering blogs, leading me into the world of distributed SQL. I interviewed Ben Darnell, cofounder of CockroachDB, discussing the motivation behind building a distributed SQL database like CockroachDB. We explored the challenges of distributed execution of queries, emphasizing the importance of strong consistency and defaulting to serializable isolation level for correctness over performance. Our approach prioritizes correctness and challenges common misconceptions about performance tradeoffs in distributed environments.
