Ideal isn’t real: Stress testing CockroachDB’s resilience
In today’s always-on, global applications, raw speed is no longer enough. Modern enterprises demand not only blistering transaction rates but also unwavering stability when the unexpected strikes; whether that’s a network hiccup, a failing disk, or an entire data center going dark. With organizations averaging 86 outages a year, failures are the norm today. But traditional benchmarks like TPC-C only tell you how fast a database runs in perfect conditions, or sunny days. They leave out the more important story of what happens when things go wrong.
