I like the idea of supporting multi cloud, not cloud vendor lock-in, but I still doubt providing a tool can solve this. We have been building a DBaaS(database as a service) for many years. Until now, we have only supported AWS and GCP, have

As a chief engineer, I started to work with my colleagues to build an open source distributed, relational database from scratch 7 years ago. At that time, MySQL Sharding, or NoSQL was the popular solutions for scalability. So the first chal
