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
“Behavioral cohorts and the query engine are powerful. Best for understanding complex user journeys.”
“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“PostHog offers similar features with open source and better pricing. Hard to justify Amplitude's enterprise pricing.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“The CDP + analytics + experimentation convergence is the right direction. Amplitude is well-positioned.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
