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.

Supavisor is a high-performance, multi-tenant Postgres connection pooler built in Elixir. Alternative to PgBouncer for cloud-native environments.
Reviewer scorecard
“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“Multi-tenant connection pooling for Postgres at scale. Elixir's concurrency model is perfect for this use case.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“PgBouncer works fine for most use cases. Supavisor matters for Supabase-scale multi-tenant deployments.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
“Cloud-native connection pooling is essential infrastructure. Supavisor solves it at the right abstraction level.”
