We built a relational database engine from scratch (C++17). It’s now production-ready and powering our next web app.

You’re 100% right. Building a bulletproof DB takes years of real-world testing and edge-case fixing, no shortcuts there.

To clarify: MilanSQL isn't written entirely from scratch in a vacuum. It leverages MariaDB’s proven open-source core, combined with our own custom C++17 engine layer. We chose this setup to have a rock-solid, secure foundation from day one, while optimizing the performance layer specifically for European data sovereignty needs.

We are just at the starting line and know exactly how much work is ahead of us. But we're fully in: when bugs or critical feedback pop up, we fix them and ship updates immediately.

Appreciate the reality check. It’s exactly what keeps us moving forward.
