A Netflix RoachFest24 Original: The Case for Multi-Region Clusters

The text discusses RoachFest24, an event series that has taken place in Menlo Park and London, with the final event scheduled for September 26th in New York City. Netflix's team shared their experiences using CockroachDB for four years, highlighting optimizations and configurations that help clients meet their goals. Senior Software Engineer Shengwei Wang and Software Engineer Ram Srivatsa Kannan discussed multi-region clusters and how they provide CockroachDB-as-a-Service (DBaaS) to customers. Netflix's Database Platform Team has benefited from using multi-region clusters due to CockroachDB's region survivability, performance tuning capabilities, and load balancing during traffic evacuation. The upcoming RoachFest24 NYC event will feature more experts and opportunities for attendees to connect with fellow Cockroach users.
