    Yugabyte
    Overview

    CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database built on a transactional and strongly-consistent key-value store. It scales horizontally; survives disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports strongly-consistent ACID transactions; and provides a familiar SQL API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.

    CockroachDB is inspired by Google’s Spanner and F1 technologies, and it’s completely open source.

    YugabyteDB is a high-performance distributed SQL database for powering global, internet-scale applications. ... As a cloud native database, it can be deployed across public and private clouds as well as in Kubernetes environments with ease. YugabyteDB is developed and distributed as an Apache 2.0 open source project.
