The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on integrating CockroachDB with a Django application running on Ubuntu, focusing on version 2 of the django-cockroachdb library. It uses Python3, following a similar structure to a Digital Ocean tutorial on PostgreSQL but highlights differences such as role-based access management requiring an enterprise license. The instructions cover installing necessary components, setting up a CockroachDB instance, creating a database and roles, and configuring Django to use CockroachDB as its database engine. The guide also includes steps for migrating the database and running the Django application, emphasizing the use of Python3 and pip3 for package management.
