Materialize's CockroachDB Homebrew Tap

This is a Homebrew tap for CockroachDB, for use when developing Materialize, the streaming data warehouse.

Unless you are a Materialize developer, you probably want the official CockroachDB Homebrew tap instead.

Usage

$ brew uninstall cockroachdb/tap/cockroach
$ brew uninstall cockroachdb/tap/cockroach-sql
$ brew uninstall cockroachdb/tap/ccloud
$ brew untap cockroachdb/tap
$ brew uninstall cockroachdb/cockroach/cockroach
$ brew untap cockroachdb/cockroach
$ brew install materializeinc/cockroach/cockroach
$ brew services start cockroach

Details

This tap is equivalent to the upstream tap, except that the CockroachDB cluster started by brew services is configured to use an in-memory store. For reasons we have not tracked down in full, CockroachDB is much slower when run on macOS, and Materialize's usage of CockroachDB magnifies the effect. See MaterializeInc/materialize#16963 for some discussion. The leading theory is slow filesystem operations on macOS.
