CockroachDB has gained powerful spatial data capabilities since the 20.2 release. One of the great things about this is that the spatial features are compatible with the excellent PostGIS spatial data extension for PostgreSQL (with some caveats). In my opinion, PostGIS is the gold standard for spatial data management. I’m the maintainer of Hibernate-Spatial: an optional module which extends Hibernate with spatial capabilities. I was asked by Cockroach Labs to write a spatial dialect for CockroachDB. This dialect was introduced in version 5.4.30.Final.
