That performance is really impressive. I'm no expert in this space, but I was expecting somewhere around 30% the throughput of a regular DB. They are way higher than that.
I wonder how practical this is in reality. Production databases need Day 2 operations and capabilities like backups, replication, etc. Enclaves aren’t connected to the network, so you can’t practically back them up, nor can you replicate them for HA or DR purposes.
Has Microsoft been particularly litigious of late? Pearl clutching over Microsoft’s use of telemetry (which Google never uses, by contrast) has turned into full-blown Slashdot-style insanity.
What you call insanity, I call keeping check on power abusers, and MS has decades of track record of that. The fact they started to play nicer the last few years doesn't magically erase lying, cheating, corrupting and trolling for 20 years. Also google gets it fair share of criticism.
In fact, I think we don't make enough noise given the few people outside of our bubble that knows about it.
Note: while it is based on MariaDB, it replaces InnoDB (the MariaDB/MySQL storage engine) with MyRocks (which is based on RocksDB), and as a consequence it is missing some features (such as foreign keys[1]) that prevent it from being usable in many applications.
