Another interesting bit — the Dong Khoi street used to be known as “Rue Catinat”. I keep noticing the coffee chain “Katinat” around Vietnam. Maybe it’s named after this street? (Which in turn is named after a French general)

Anyway, here’s a Katinat branch on the former Rue Catinat!

True, I work on a open-source database which has a 4-month release cycle & there's a QA team for that part of the product.

There's also a closed source managed service, which is updated continously. For this, we only rely integration tests + monitoring.
