"A SQL Database That Actually Scales"

What do you like best about CockroachDB?

CockroachDB is an innovation solution to easily scaling our SQL database and the fact that scaling works out of the box is a huge advantage to our team. Some of the advice features, such as managing data locality, are also very convenient and have saved our team many, many hours of work by not having to implement these features ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CockroachDB?

Depending on what your requirements are, you may find this solution much slower than a traditional database solution. Latency can be an issue and some SQL queries are not sufficiently optimized by the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CockroachDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

CockroachDB allows us to a SQL interface database for our web app that is extremely easy to scale. The fact that we can host is across cloud providers and utilize CockroachDB themselves for managing our database has resulted is much simpler database management.
