CockroachDB: An Enterprise Architecture Overview

It is essential for today’s mission-critical applications to operate without interruptions, such as online banking systems that handle millions of transactions daily or healthcare systems managing real-time patient data. In these verticals and many more, downtime or data loss can result in significant financial and reputational damage, such as lost revenue from disrupted transactions, penalties for regulatory non-compliance, and erosion of customer trust due to perceived unreliability, making resilience and availability paramount.
