CockroachDB Reviews

We integrated CockroachDB into our existing analytics service stack, which relies on PostgreSQL connections, without encountering any issues. Everything worked immediately without needing any code modifications, workarounds, or special configurations.

Based on our experience to date using it for our analytics platform, we haven't identified any dislikes

We were able to launch our analytics service into production quickly and without initial cost using CockroachDB, which was a major advantage.

The ease of use offered by the cloud options and the capabilities of the self hosted option.

Maybe I lack experience with concurrent use of the DB, but sometimes the default config causes me trouble and I need to change it.

Currently we have a few products and cockroachdb is the default solution for db we use.

CockroachDB does what a database should do. Just sit there and hold my data reliably without me having to babysit. No worrying about partitioning. I don't care about servers going up or down or load balancers. I don't care if a new version is available. I just keep my schema up to date. Perform my CRUD operations and get on with building my business.

And did I mention the support? Recently I had an issue where backups to an S3 compatible bucket stopped working. Within 24 hours I was on a call with a product manager talking through the issue to understand exactly what happened and what my recommended path forward would be. Yes, by running a serverless database in the cloud as a non-enterprise I am giving up some level of control, which is what happened here when they upgraded to the latest AWS S3 SDK that had some incompatible headers, but the tradeoff is that I have zero operational headaches to deal with.

I have an option to evaluate this product using an open source option and take some university courses to educate myself on how to use the database product. From there, I can figure out which projects I plan to use it for (specifically anything business-related or personal / hobby projects).

I'm not sure as I am continuing to explore more of the product and I hope that there isn't too many limitations when it comes to adding specific data that I would need to create the database.

The fact that I can get started for free to evaluate CockroachDB right away. Although the limitation is up to 5GB, that is all I would really need for a starter project and for evaluation. Evidently, they also offer a pay-as-you-go plan, which is also similar to other companies.

Basically cockroachdb is easy to use and it is open source distributed database. It accepts complex architectures which makes it globally accepted. It's best feature is geo partitioning into it's clusters. Support team is so awesome that they solve problems in matter of minutes.

Though CockroachDB is an open source , there ain't any forum except stack overflow. It's setup is slightly complex from others. Other than that everything works fine.

We use CockroachDB for Distributed storage of complex data for high reliability and high performance.

.CockroachDB have best support and response very fast

Still don't have respective support in indonesia

If have large data cockrach will help with low latency

Large data handle by

It is a distributed database and it is a opensourced product. It works really well in cloud environments like AWS, azure etc. The installation and configuration is fairly simple.

The cockroach db should have been had a better compatibility with the application loadbalancers as well. Although it is used for the networking loadbalancers it has the downside of not routing on the app layer

I am using cockroach db for distributed database cluster for high availability and high performance. I am using it for building production grade applications.

Help to build High availability db cluster with awesome management and aggregate a lot of opensource tools for postgres. Has operator for k8s/openshift clusters

Something leader election doesnt work properly, for ocp operator very brutal setup configuration where you have a huge configmap. Management tool is required to be downloaded to local machine instead if using from container

All reliability and durability for

There are many cool features like:

1. Live cluster scaling options

2. Geo partitioning

3. High availability

Feature rich, has great online tutorials and Cockroach University.

Wish this was around 20 years ago! ACID compliant.

It can be simple but gets complex quite quickly as you start using Geolocation features, i guess there is a steep learning curve but worth it to master the advanced features.

Distributed data that has all the bells and whistles.
