2DC Support with Cross-Cluster Replication

We have invested in building two cross-cluster replication tools: physical cluster replication (PCR; Generally Available in 24.1) and logical data replication (LDR; Preview in 24.3). These cross-cluster replication tools will enable you to achieve regional resiliency, low single-region write latency, and survive entire cluster outages when deploying your applications on CockroachDB.
