Expert verdict
Ship
2-1The Panel's Take
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.

“If you need multi-region strong consistency with SQL, CockroachDB is the answer. Postgres compatibility makes adoption easy.”
“99% of apps don't need distributed SQL. Regular Postgres with read replicas handles more than people think.”
“Global-by-default databases will matter more as edge computing grows. CockroachDB is ahead of the curve.”
