Rate this book
Get a practical introduction to CockroachDB. This book starts with installation and foundational concepts and takes you through to creating clusters that are ready for production environments. You will learn how to create, optimize, and operate CockroarchDB clusters in single and multi-region environments. You will encounter anti-patterns to avoid, as well as testing techniques for integration and load testing.



The book explains why CockroachDB exists, goes over its major benefits, and quickly transitions into installing and configuring CockroachDB. Just as quickly, you’ll be creating databases, getting data into those databases, and querying that data from your applications. You’ll progress to data privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA, and learn how CockroachDB’s global distribution features can help you comply with ever-shifting data sovereignty regulations.
