CockroachDB Serverless: Sub-second Scaling from Zero with Multi-region Cluster Virtualization
Summary: Two-tier CockroachDB splits SQL and KV into separate processes to enable independent scaling for multi-tenant, multi-region serverless workloads. Production deployment since 2022 achieves scaling-to-zero, sub-second cold starts, and strong data and performance isolation.
