The creator of combdb2 at Bloomberg was then hired by Amazon to build auroradb. He retired off the package he received for that.

Brilliant guy!

He joined the conversation the last time we were talking about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13908413
Yes, I heard he spent almost all his money on fast but leaky British sports cars, so still needs to stay in the loop technically speaking.
What is a leaky British sports car?

TVR? Jaguar?

Those that haven't died before of electric gremlins.
Wouldn't it be easier to list the ones that aren't leaky?
That's the open top ones?
This is an oddly specific rumor. Also oddly entertaining.

I always thought that combdb2 looked really awesome from a design / features perspective. I wonder why it didn't get as much attention as the other databases out there.

Anyone work with it directly?

Docker images and some documentation about how to implement a cluster on docker swarm or similar solution?
