CockroachDB 25.1 release

Enhanced resilience and performance

The latest release of CockroachDB includes new capabilities to enhance resilience and performance

Enhance resilience and performance

Multiple updates have been made across CockroachDB to improve resilience and performance under adverse conditions. Together, the features below along with other smaller enhancements, we’ve achieved a 20% performance improvement in this release.

Leader leases introduce a new leaseholder mechanism that improves resilience and fault tolerance while reducing the overhead of previous leasing mechanisms.

  • Network partitions between a leaseholder and its followers heal in less than 20 seconds, since the leaseholder no longer needs to heartbeat a single node liveness range.

  • Outages caused by liveness failures last less than 1 second, since liveness is now determined by a store-level detection mechanism, not a single node liveness range.

  • Performance is equivalent (within less than 1%) to epoch-based leases on a 100 node cluster of 32 vCPU machines with 8 stores each.
