Surviving Failures: Disaster Recovery with CockroachDB

CockroachDB provides mechanisms to recover data quickly and minimize Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) in the face of even catastrophic cluster failures. The database offers three key disaster recovery capabilities: backups, physical cluster replication, and logical cluster replication. Backups enable point-in-time recovery and allow restoration of data even if the original cluster is lost. Physical cluster replication replicates entire clusters across geographic locations at the disk level, allowing for region resiliency with a two data-center deployment and near-instant failover. Logical cluster replication allows replication of tables to another CockroachDB cluster, ideal for multi-cloud or hybrid setups. By leveraging these advanced features, organizations can build applications and databases that are not only high performing but also resilient in the face of real-world challenges.
