I’ve always thought that "Just Use Postgres" would make an excellent title and topic for a book. And we’ve partnered with Manning to bring it to life.

Looking forward to your feedback on the TOC and chapters that have already been released. The book is current in the Manning Early Access Program (MEAP), which lets read it while I continue to write the chapters.

Cool, works with my YugabyteDB deployment using the provided scripts for Postgres.

1. Nope, I don't think that CRDB is generally faster than Yugabyte. Vendors can't say otherwise in their own benchmarks :)

3. That code must be the tooling around the db and various smart drivers (that extend default drivers of Postgres for various programming languages). Overall, the core database engine of Yugabyte is written in C.

In light of the recent license changes by CockroachDB, their competitor (YugabyteDB) took another approach that seems to work well.
