Why leading enterprises choose CockroachDB
Multi-region simplicity
CockroachDB’s declarative data placement makes global scaling simple and reliable. Yugabyte relies on manual configurations, increasing complexity and potential for errors.
Superior resilience
CockroachDB recovers from failures faster, and we have the receipts to prove it. Yugabyte exhibits longer outages during chaos scenarios, impacting uptime when it matters most.
Enterprise-class performance and scalability
We’ve tested clusters of 300 nodes as compared to Yugabyte’s 75 node cluster testing.

Databases and platform freedom
CockroachDB is architected to give you the freedom to deploy your database anywhere: Any private or public cloud, across multiple clouds, using our innovative [Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/product/cloud/bring-your-own-cloud/) offering, on premises, self-hosted, or in a hybrid deployment encompassing some or all of these. Use the best solution for your workloads without cloud provider or deployment model lock-in.
Freedom from lock-in
Make smart use of your existing resources with CockroachDB’s hybrid-cloud capabilities. AWS Aurora won’t let you deploy in a hybrid environment
Freedom of choice
Pick any (or multiple) providers and run self-deployed or as-a-service. Because no one should have to be locked into a single provider
Freedom to grow
Effortlessly scale and take control of your workloads. Avoid the significant egress costs often seen when moving data with AWS Aurora
