CockroachDB

CockroachDB is a cloud-native SQL database for building global, scalable cloud services that survive disasters.

TeamCity CI GoDoc Gitter

What is CockroachDB?

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.

For more details, see our FAQ or architecture document.

Here’s a quick explainer video:

Status
