CockroachDB

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Hold

In the space of DBaaS services, we have trialed CockroachDB to see if it could be our preferred DBaaS solution, and if so, under what circumstances it would be our preferred choice.

We have decided to hold off on using CockroachDB for the time being because we feel it is overkill for our current needs where we typically have no need for large-scale data distribution. For now we think for most of our needs 'plain' PostgreSQL (as a PaaS) is a better fit when it comes to relational databases.

CockroachDB is one of the leaders in the DBaaS space and has featured on the Thoughtworks Technology Radar in the past as a recommended service to assess.
