minimal notes on cockroach

  • distributed relational database (acid)
  • transparent sharding (which can be controlled if needed: Topology Patterns)
  • in contrast to postgres it does not use active-passive replication (uses quorum)
  • CAP theorem: is a cp database
  • uses postgres "interface": ORM, SQL dialect, etc.
  • runs on kubernetes
  • serverless offer in cloud (uses k8s under the hood)
