YouTube Video tutorial:
CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database designed for high availability, horizontal scalability, and strong consistency. It was developed by Cockroach Labs and is inspired by Google Spanner, aiming to provide the scalability of NoSQL systems with the relational capabilities and ACID guarantees of traditional SQL databases.
🔍 Key Features of CockroachDB
| Feature | Description |
| Distributed Architecture | Data is automatically distributed across nodes in a cluster, allowing for resilience and scalability. |
| Horizontal Scalability | You can add nodes to the cluster with minimal effort, and the database will automatically rebalance data. |
| Survivability (Fault Tolerance) | Built to survive disk, machine, rack, and even data center failures with no manual intervention. |
| Strong Consistency | Uses the Raft consensus algorithm to maintain consistency across replicas. |
| SQL Support | Supports standard SQL for queries, schemas, and transactions. |
| ACID Transactions | Fully ACID-compliant, unlike many other distributed databases. |
| Cloud-Native | Designed with cloud deployments in mind; works well across regions and zones. |
🏗 Use Cases
Global applications needing low-latency data access in multiple regions
Financial services requiring strict consistency and reliability
Startups and SaaS platforms scaling rapidly without managing sharding
Disaster-resilient backend systems
🧠 Why the Name Cockroach?
Because it's designed to survive anything—just like the insect. The name reflects its emphasis on resilience and survivability in the face of failures.
