To be fair, it was basically an MVP. It did everything it needed to and nothing more the entire time I worked on it. Definitely didn’t love it, but it did expose me to cool problems to work on.
I'm not sure the CEO would label it as MVP. I remember pretty well that it was portrayed as cutting edge and robust technology (hence the name Bedrock). But I do agree with you that it exposes you to some interesting areas.

Amusingly, see this Twitter thread from aphyr, a respected known name in the DB field: https://twitter.com/aphyr/status/788755301151477760 and https://twitter.com/aphyr/status/788757992829222912, where he is surprised that the author don't know about basic concepts of distributed systems, such as CAP and IOPS.
