Cockroach Labs’ Technical Evangelist Rob Reid just loves trying to break things, and our own cloud-native distributed SQL database is not immune from this impulse. He recently devoted screen time to pushing CockroachDB hard in tough conditions, just to watch it push back.

User-defined functions (UDFs) and stored procedures (SPs) allow users to define a set of queries that can be executed at the database by providing only the function or procedure name and any relevant parameters. They provide building blocks for users to compose complex queries, which makes applications less error prone since users don’t need to repeatedly provide the complex query. Another benefit of UDFs/SPs is that they enable better performance by moving more computation closer to the data. There are fewer round trips between the application and database to get the results the user wants.

Moving past mainframes is a big decision, but it’s the right choice for a growing number of enterprises. The agility and scalability of cloud architectures are proving too advantageous for organizations to ignore, as they race to gain a competitive edge.

Admission control is the system in CockroachDB that prioritizes work during different types of node overload. In a properly sized cluster, where the work does not exceed the resource capacity, all work proceeds uninterrupted and effectively receives equal priority.
