Introducing Logical Data Replication in CockroachDB
We are excited to introduce Logical Data Replication (LDR) in Preview in the 24.3 release of CockroachDB. LDR enables data replication between CockroachDB clusters and enables both clusters to actively receive traffic during replication.

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.
