What is CockroachDB used for?
CockroachDB is designed to survive software and hardware failures, from server restarts to datacenter outages. This is accomplished without confusing artifacts typical of other distributed systems (e.g., stale reads) using strongly-consistent replication as well as automated repair after failures.
Is CockroachDB production ready?
CockroachDB is a distributed SQL (“NewSQL”) database developed by Cockroach Labs and has recently reached a major milestone: the first production-ready, 1.0 release. Scalable, distributed SQL system with ACID transactions. Cloud-ready. Support for containerised deployments.15 Jun 2017
How is CockroachDB different?
The biggest difference is how the products handle scaling, replication, and HA. CockroachDB was built from the ground up to be able to provide a global SQL datastore with distributed transactions. CockroachDB's focus on global scale allows it to be a lot more cloud-friendly.15 Aug 2019

Is CockroachDB scalable?
CockroachDB is now 50x more scalable than Amazon Aurora at less than 2% of the price per tpmC.
