CockroachDB is a highly resilient distributed SQL database that aims to make it easy to scale horizontally by adding nodes instead of manually sharding the database. The database is built to be resilient and highly available, recovering from node failures automatically by repairing and rebalancing. Cockroach Labs also offers a fully-managed version called CockroachDB Dedicated, which enables users to focus on developing and optimizing their application without worrying about database provisioning and cluster management. Datadog's integration with CockroachDB allows users to visualize and alert on hundreds of metrics, track data store workloads, track high-level cluster health, set up thresholds for dashboards, monitor database resource utilization, and monitor performance in context alongside other technologies.
