I watched a few of their talks, and while I'm somewhat impressed by the results, it's not exactly surprising to me that you can get those numbers when you make the trade-offs they're making. Most applications cannot make those trade-offs and, thus, cannot ever hope to see those numbers. The lack of rigor in database benchmarking in any of the videos I saw was an obvious indicator of something to be wary of.
I am a creator of SpacetimeDB. Several assertions in this article are simply wrong. You can read our response here: https://spacetimedb.com/blog/benchmarking
In particular, we are not making trade-offs. The assertions SpacetimeDB provides anything less than full durability guarantees is just wrong.
