In a comparative analysis of CockroachDB and Amazon Aurora using the industry-standard TPC-C benchmark, CockroachDB demonstrated significant scalability and performance, processing 100 times the throughput of Aurora's last published metrics. CockroachDB's recent achievement of passing TPC-C at 100,000 warehouses with a max throughput of 1.2 million transactions per minute (tpmC) highlights its ability to maintain serializable isolation while scaling, thus protecting data integrity. The TPC-C benchmark, which simulates e-commerce or retail operations, involves a complex mix of transactions and remains a critical measure of OLTP workload performance. CockroachDB's architecture allows it to scale more effectively than Aurora, supporting 50 billion rows and over 8 terabytes of frequently accessed data. Cockroach Labs emphasizes the reproducibility of their benchmarks, providing detailed steps for others to replicate their results, and offers a dedicated performance page with the latest testing information.
