|Scale & Resilience
We have invested in building two cross-cluster replication tools: physical cluster replication (PCR; Generally Available in 24.1) and logical data replication (LDR; Preview in 24.3). These cross-cluster replication tools will enable you to achieve regional resiliency, low single-region write latency, and survive entire cluster outages when deploying your applications on CockroachDB.

Mainframe to Distributed SQL, Part 3: Distributed Database Architecture
In the era of cloud computing, traditional centralized database architectures are increasingly giving way to more flexible and resilient distributed database architectures.
