Cockroach nodes were installed in the following: 1. Single host, triple nodes (containers): for evaluation on a low-end PC. 2. Single host, triple nodes (process): to test applications against a ~500GB database in-house. 3. Serverless: hosted in Google Cloud Platform (the main database). A number of Python scripts and some Java applications are happily reading and writing to the database. The solution allows for scaling in cases where a PostgreSQL server (unless you use sophisticated partitioning across some machines) would not be enough to handle the load. This kind of database is particularly used for backtests.

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.

We are currently evaluating this product to see if it can support distributed transactions with high availability. We are comparing it with Oracle, trying to see it can achieve the same thing.
CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database built on a transactional and strongly-consistent key-value store. It scales horizontally; survives disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports strongly-consistent ACID transactions; and provides a familiar SQL API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.
CockroachDB is inspired by...

The solution is used for Kubernetes to put on database.

The use case is a backend DB for an app. The CockrorchDB is on CentOS7.x with a cloud server service.
