CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database that survives failures and scales globally. PostgreSQL-compatible wire protocol. Great for multi-region apps but overkill for most projects.
Reviewer scorecard
“350+ connectors and open source. The community connector marketplace grows faster than any proprietary alternative.”
“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“Open-source Fivetran alternative that you can self-host. The connector quality varies but the breadth is unmatched.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“Data integration is commoditizing. Open-source connectors maintained by the community will win long term.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
