Summary

CockroachDB is a database designed from day one for multi-region applications, making it easy to build and deploy an application across multiple regions in three steps. Firstly, deploy your application into multiple regions with no required changes. Secondly, deploy your database into multiple regions using CockroachDB's node startup locality options or automatically set by CockroachDB Dedicated. Lastly, enhance your multi-region database with optional configurations like region survivability, table locality settings (regional tables, regional by row tables, and global tables), and more. This approach ensures low-latency reads and writes for all tables in a multi-region database from the first region, while also providing increased fault tolerance and availability.
