CockroachDB Reviews

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.

The initial setup and deployment are simple.

We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning.

I have been working with CockroachDB for close to six months.

We are still evaluating and I have only used a small amount of data. For a small volume, the stability seems perfectly fine. As for when the volume of data grows, this is something that I will have to check.

We have not tested scalability.

We are in touch with a couple of vendors from Cockroach Labs and the technical support is good.

We use a combination of cloud-based and on-premises databases. On-premises we have Oracle and SQL Server. Our cloud-native databases are PostgreSQL and MySQL.

PostgreSQL is quite similar to Oracle but CockroachDB is still evolving.

The initial setup is not complex.

At this point, I have not used this product enough to fully rate it on all of the features. In three or four months' time, I will have a better idea and understanding of it.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

The use case is a backend DB for an app.

The CockrorchDB is on CentOS7.x with a cloud server service.

CockroachDB is a best practice for my organization.

High management of the CockroachDB (like creating or managing a data center across regions) seems so simple, and users can focus on developing the app.

CockroachDB is very handy.

I think CockroachDB has two important valuable features which are my favorite:

1. Having high fault-tolerance for clusters level and even data center level, which may run by a simple process.

2. The learning curb was low (for me at least). This comes into play for installing, deployment, SQL and more.

I think that this DB is helpful to easily and speedily provide a single and large service to the world.

As additional features, I wish there was Japanese documentation, instead of just English. I know how powerful and simple CockroachDB can be for many Japanese people with the correct documentation.
