description CockroachDB Dedicated Overview

CockroachDB Dedicated is a fully managed, distributed SQL database designed for high availability and horizontal scalability.

help CockroachDB Dedicated FAQ

How does CockroachDB Dedicated handle regional outages?

Because it is a distributed SQL database, it replicates data across multiple nodes and regions to ensure high availability. If one cloud region goes down, the database continues to operate seamlessly using the surviving replicas.

Is CockroachDB fully compatible with PostgreSQL drivers?

Yes, CockroachDB is wire-compatible with PostgreSQL, meaning developers can use existing Postgres tools and ORMs. This makes migrating applications much easier than transitioning to completely proprietary distributed databases.

What does fully managed mean for CockroachDB Dedicated?

Cockroach Labs handles all the operational overhead, including hardware provisioning, software updates, and routine maintenance. Developers only need to interact with the database endpoint without worrying about underlying infrastructure management.
