CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database built for global scale and resilience, founded in 2015 by Spencer Kimball, Peter Mattis, and Ben Darnell (former Google engineers who worked on Bigtable and Colossus). CockroachDB combines the familiarity of PostgreSQL (wire-compatible, supports most Postgres SQL syntax) with the distributed architecture of Google Spanner — automatically sharding data across nodes, replicating across availability zones or regions, and providing serializable ACID transactions across the distributed cluster.
