https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithmcclellan/ These days, most application architecture is distributed by default: connected https://thenewstack.io/category/microservices/ running in https://thenewstack.io/category/containers/ in a cloud environment. Organizations large and small now deploy thousands of containers every day — a complexity of scale that is almost incomprehensible.

Many distributed applications need to be distributed as close to users as possible, so let’s say we want to build a three-region cluster.

This dramatically simplifies the distributed application landscape because it becomes the only fault domain that we have to think through.

When you’re deploying multiregion/multisite, we recommend a Kubernetes cluster for each site and then we span CockroachDB across those sites.
