CockroachDB 24.3 release

Enhanced resilience and a new simplified self-service trial

The latest release of CockroachDB includes new capabilities to enhance resilience and security, increase database automation, and a new simplified self-service trial

01 Enhance resilience

Multiple updates have been made across CockroachDB to improve resilience and performance under adverse conditions.

Increase data availability between two or more datacenters with Logical Data Replication now in preview

Enable bi-directional cross-cluster active-active replication between clusters
Customers can survive a region failure while providing low-latency reads and writes
LDR provides ACID consistency on each cluster and asynchronous replication among clusters to achieve eventual consistency between 2+ clusters

WAL Failover, now generally available, is a solution to transient disk stalls, common in cloud environments

Ensures resiliency even when the underlying storage layer is disrupted
Uses a secondary disk to preserve the availability of writes when the primary disk is stalled

Support workload isolation with Physical Cluster Replication (PCR)

Enable users to isolate resources from a given workload
SELECT from a secondary cluster for non-critical operations such as analytics queries
