Testing large clusters is critical, but doing so at a scale that matches some of our largest customer environments can get costly. What if a totally different – and highly cost-effective -- approach to large cluster testing revealed itself? At Cockroach Labs we decided to take a non-traditional path, and things got very interesting.

I recently moved into a new house. Boxes are everywhere. Little pieces of styrofoam surprise me everywhere I go. There are many noises I don’t recognize or understand. And the drill I’d forgotten I even owned now occupies a prime spot on my kitchen counter. I use it daily. I didn’t move to a new house because I thought moving would be fun, or even easy. I knew it would be a lot of work. I moved because my family needed more space. Which is just one of many reasons someone might decide to endure the pain of moving: Cost. Quality of life. Proximity to the people/places that are important to you.
