CockroachDB is a distributed, transactionally consistent database designed with resilience as a core principle. Its architecture ensures that applications remain available and data stays consistent even in the face of unpredictable failures. The system minimizes downtime, mitigates risk, and allows for automatic recovery from various failure scenarios such as unhandled exceptions, resource exhaustion, network outages, configuration errors, security breaches, deployment issues, hardware malfunctions, data corruption, and replication problems. CockroachDB's self-healing capabilities, fault tolerance, automated failover, and distributed architecture make it an ideal choice for building modern systems that can thrive in the face of adversity.
