Enabling the Next Generation of Multi-Region Applications with CockroachDB
Summary: Declarative multi-region expresses locality and availability goals, guiding replica placement. New TM protocol enables local, strongly consistent reads from any replica; evaluation shows linear throughput with regions and >10x tail-latency reduction. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
