I agree, CockroachDB is overall very good!

A few things I'm missing from it though:

- Advisory Locks (only exist as a shim/no-op today)

- LISTEN/NOTIFY

- CTEs (Common Table Expressions)

- Introspection and management features (for example pg_locks, pg_stat_activity, pg_backend_pid(), pg_terminate_backend())

They are making good progress though, and more recently they've spent effort on making adapters for well, e.g. their ActiveRecord adapter.

I think this is clever, since the deciding factor for many companies will simply be "Can I easily replace this with PostgreSQL in my Rails/Django/etc. project?"
