Thread: google F1

So,

If you haven't heard the news yet, google is migrating off MySQL for
adwords.  They decided to implement their own system, F1:

It's a distributed SQL system, but they opted not to implement
'eventual consistency' -- which I very much agree with.  It's fully
transactional (I think?) and trades transaction latency for the
sharding capabilities.  It's an interesting take: how does it compare
to postgres?  Does it truly scale?
