Compared to traditional relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and established distributed SQL databases like CockroachDB, Regatta positions itself to have superior performance and consistency through architectural optimizations. However, due to its relative novelty, publicly documented production deployments at enterprise scale are limited, making real-world performance comparisons challenging.

When considering Regatta, enterprises should carefully evaluate the trade-offs. While the potential performance benefits are compelling, organizations must weigh this against the maturity, extensive tooling, large ecosystem, proven stability, and broad community support available with databases like CockroachDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. Unless extensive internal benchmarks and rigorous testing clearly validate Regatta's claims, organizations should proceed with caution and seriously reconsider adopting it for critical workloads.
