The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported.

What I like best is its ability to solve data residency issues. The main advantage is auto geo partitioning, built into the product. This means we don't have to spin up separate servers in each region, which would be much more costly.

The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations.

The most valuable feature is that CockroachDB is a distributed database, which can deploy nodes running in different regions.

The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities.

I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance.
 

CockroachDB Cons review quotes

I find the serverless offer a bit confusing.

I think the engine itself could be improved. If you miss a partition key, it should be able to be modeled. This is where AI could be really helpful. For example, if a user is from Australia, the system should know to look for their data there first instead of searching in the US or another continent.

The product must improve its disaster recovery features.

The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling.

I would like CockroachDB to have more compatibility with PostgreSQL, especially with the connection string and technical integrations.

Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network.

CockroachDB needs to improve store processes.
