Why CockroachDB?

What makes CockroachDB the right choice for modern engineering teams.

PostgreSQL Compatible

Wire-compatible with PostgreSQL — use any Postgres driver or ORM without changes.

Distributed ACID Transactions

Serializable transactions across distributed nodes without sacrificing consistency.

Automatic Sharding

Data automatically distributed and rebalanced across nodes as the cluster grows.

Geo-Distribution

Pin data to specific regions with table partitioning and zone configs for data residency compliance.

Serverless Tier

Pay-per-use serverless instances that scale to zero when idle.

Survivability

Survives disk, node, rack, and region failures with automatic recovery.

Code Example

CockroachDB in Action

cockroachdb-demoDatabase
-- CockroachDB geo-distributed table
CREATE TABLE users (
  id        UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  email     TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  region    TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (region IN ('us-east', 'eu-west', 'ap-south')),
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now()
) PARTITION BY LIST (region);

CREATE TABLE users_us PARTITION OF users FOR VALUES IN ('us-east');
CREATE TABLE users_eu PARTITION OF users FOR VALUES IN ('eu-west');
CREATE TABLE users_ap PARTITION OF users FOR VALUES IN ('ap-south');

-- Pin each partition to its home region
ALTER PARTITION users_us OF TABLE users CONFIGURE ZONE USING constraints = '[+region=us-east-1]';
