Then there was RethinkDB which was very promising but ran out of funding.&lt;p&gt;I am skeptical that a networked database with multiple nodes can match the performance of a single master database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server. I did a quick benchmark of CockroachDB 1.x and MySQL last year and found that CockroachDB was 5-10x slower on simple CRUD queries: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;caleblloyd&amp;#x2F;MySqlCockroachBench&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Concurrency-Benchmark-Results&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;caleblloyd&amp;#x2F;MySqlCockroachBench&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Concu...&lt;/a&gt; Are there any good independent benchmarks of performance?&lt;p&gt;According to crunchbase, Cockroach Labs has raised $53.5m (RethinkDB had only raised $12m). Is there evidence that Cockroach Labs is on track to make money and is going to survive?&lt;p&gt;If the company is healthy and the performance is verified as close to a major RDBMS, I would be comfortable trying it out as a primary datastore.  If those questions can&amp;#x27;t be definitely answered right now, I&amp;#x27;ll probably continue to wait for the company and the tech to mature.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>CockroachDB 2.0 released</title><url>https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/cockroachdb-2-0-release/</url></story>

Modern orchestration tools really are still struggling with single points of failure and Cockroach really shines there. The fact that both tools are maturing at around the same time is a real win for Cockroach. Additionally its use of certificate authentication just fits in with the rest of Kubernetes.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>CockroachDB 2.0 released</title><url>https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/cockroachdb-2-0-release/</url></story>
