CockroachDB

CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database designed to build and scale cloud-native applications with guaranteed transactional consistency across multiple regions and cloud providers. Named after the resilient insect, CockroachDB is engineered to survive hardware failures, network partitions, and even entire datacenter outages without any data loss or downtime. The database provides the familiar SQL interface and ACID transactions that developers know from PostgreSQL, while adding automatic data replication, horizontal scaling, and geo-partitioning capabilities that traditional relational databases cannot offer. CockroachDB's architecture enables applications to scale from a single node to thousands of nodes across multiple regions without application changes, making it ideal for growing businesses that need their database to scale seamlessly. The platform's geo-partitioning feature allows data to be pinned to specific regions for compliance with data residency regulations like GDPR, while still providing a single logical database view to the application. CockroachDB Cloud offers fully managed deployments on AWS, GCP, and Azure with automatic upgrades, backups, and monitoring. The database supports PostgreSQL wire protocol compatibility, enabling most PostgreSQL-compatible applications and tools to work with CockroachDB with minimal modifications. Enterprise features include change data capture for event streaming, row-level TTL for data lifecycle management, and multi-region survivability configurations.
