I have tried this before:

https://www.dolthub.com/

It was a lot of work and had poor performance with a lot of complications. I am not using it in my latest projects as a result.

Can you be more specific about what complications you ran into? As for performance, Dolt is faster overall than MySQL on sysbench now.

It was https://threekit.com. It was a while ago now but we had to use MySQL for our primary copy that users used (e.g. prod), and only when they were working on branches did we use dolt. I think the second complication was that Dolt was not stable enough to use in heavy load scenarios as well.

I can delete this comment if you do not want to discuss this publicly.

		I remember that engineering decision. You guys were pretty early customers for your throughput and durability requirements (we hadn't even added standby replication yet when you started your integration). We've come a long way in the years since then.

		Thanks for being an early adopter. We learned a lot trying to support your use case and you’re still customers so it can’t have been too bad…

I, too, have used it. It works well and is especially great for data sharing.

makes sense. i can see things getting complex very quickly.

seems most versions would be better managed at application level, zfs/btrs snapshots not withstanding.
