CockroachDB on DC/OS: Resilient and hassle-free operations for global services
CockroachDB makes data easier to manage by providing a strongly-consistent, highly-scalable, SQL interface that you can trust to be there when you need it. We’ve designed it to be a truly cloud-native, distributed SQL database that’s easy to operate in any environment you throw at it. One such computing environment that has grown in popularity over the previous few years is Mesosphere’s DC/OS, a datacenter operating system built on top of Apache Mesos. DC/OS is an orchestration system for deploying and managing distributed applications across a cluster of machines as if they were a single pool of resources. DC/OS has both an open source and an enterprise version that gives you the ability to elastically scale your infrastructure on prem or in the cloud. It provides scheduling, resource allocation, service discovery, automatic recovery from failure, load balancing, and more, all with the goal of making it easier to manage your applications.

CockroachDB vs. Aurora: Who passes TPC-C at 100k warehouses?
Last fall we wrote about how CockroachDB was 50x more scalable than Amazon Aurora as evidenced on the industry-standard TPC-C benchmark. We’re pleased to announce that CockroachDB has doubled that performance benchmark by successfully passing TPC-C at 100,000 warehouses. And with a max throughput of 1.2m tpmC, CockroachDB can now process 100X the throughput of Amazon Aurora’s last published benchmark.
