Audits a self-hosted CockroachDB cluster against the CIS CockroachDB Benchmark v1.0.0 Level 1 controls. Supports two audit depths — quick automated scans and full CIS audit procedures. Produces a structured PASS/FAIL/MANUAL report covering installation, system hardening, logging, user access, data protection, and CockroachDB settings. Use when preparing for CIS compliance assessments, hardening self-hosted deployments, or validating security posture against industry benchmarks.
Guides benchmarking and comparing explicit multi-statement transactions versus single-statement CTE transactions in CockroachDB, with fair test methodology, contention analysis, and performance interpretation. Use when comparing transaction formulations, benchmarking CockroachDB workloads under contention, investigating retry pressure, or deciding whether to rewrite multi-step application flows into single SQL statements.
Guides application developers in designing correct and performant transaction patterns for CockroachDB, covering transaction lifetime, implicit vs explicit transactions, retry handling with exponential backoff, pushing invariants into SQL, selective pessimistic locking, set-based operations, connection pooling, prepared statements, keyset pagination, follower reads, and separating business logic from database logic. Use when building applications on CockroachDB, designing transaction workflows, handling retries, optimizing application-layer database interactions, or configuring connection pools.
Guides developers in selecting and implementing multi-region patterns for CockroachDB applications, covering active-passive vs active-active architectures, REGIONAL BY ROW, GLOBAL tables, manual geo-partitioning with lease preferences, and live demo setup with validation queries. Use when designing multi-region database topologies, choosing between REGIONAL BY ROW and manual partitioning, building multi-region demos, or optimizing cross-region latency.
Analyzes CockroachDB range distribution across tables and indexes using SHOW RANGES to identify range count, size patterns, leaseholder placement, and replication health. Use when investigating hotspots, uneven data distribution, range fragmentation, or validating zone configuration effects without DB Console access.
Estimates storage requirements for CockroachDB online schema change backfills using SHOW RANGES WITH DETAILS, KEYS, INDEXES. Use before CREATE INDEX, ADD COLUMN with INDEX/UNIQUE, ALTER PRIMARY KEY, CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW, CREATE TABLE AS, REFRESH, or SET LOCALITY on tables with large per-index footprints, to avoid mid-backfill disk exhaustion.

Guides you through downloading, installing, and starting a local CockroachDB cluster for development. Uses the official binary -- no Docker or external runtime dependencies required.
curl or wget available for downloading the binaryDetect the OS and architecture, then download the appropriate binary.

| OS | Architecture | Filename Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | Intel (amd64) | cockroach-v{VERSION}.linux-amd64.tgz |
| Linux | ARM (arm64) | cockroach-v{VERSION}.linux-arm64.tgz |

| Windows | Intel (amd64) | cockroach-v{VERSION}.windows-6.2-amd64.zip |
Replace {VERSION} with the desired release (e.g., 25.4.9). See CockroachDB Releases for the latest GA version.
# Example: macOS Apple Silicon, v25.4.9
curl -fsSL https://binaries.cockroachdb.com/cockroach-v25.4.9.darwin-11.0-arm64.tgz | tar xz
mkdir -p ~/.cockroachdb/bin
cp cockroach-v25.4.9.darwin-11.0-arm64/cockroach ~/.cockroachdb/bin/

If cockroach is already on PATH, skip the download.
A 3-node cluster is recommended for development because it exercises replication, range distribution, leaseholder balancing, and survival goals -- core CockroachDB capabilities that a single node cannot demonstrate.
# Start 3 nodes with separate SQL, RPC, and HTTP ports.
# Use $HOME instead of ~ in --store / --log-dir / --pid-file: tilde does not
# expand inside --flag=~/... in bash or zsh.
cockroach start --insecure --listen-addr=localhost:26357 --sql-addr=localhost:26257 \
--http-addr=localhost:8080 --store=$HOME/.cockroachdb/data/node1 \
--log-dir=$HOME/.cockroachdb/logs/node1 \

# Initialize the cluster (only needed on first start)
cockroach init --insecure --host=localhost:26357
For minimal resource usage when full cluster capabilities are not needed:
cockroach start-single-node --insecure --listen-addr=localhost:26257 \
--http-addr=localhost:8080 --store=$HOME/.cockroachdb/data/node1 \
--log-dir=$HOME/.cockroachdb/logs/node1 \
--pid-file=$HOME/.cockroachdb/data/node1/cockroach.pid --background
# Check SQL connectivity
cockroach sql --insecure --host=localhost:26257 -e "SELECT version();"
# Verify all nodes joined (3-node cluster)
cockroach node status --insecure --host=localhost:26257
# Check replication factor (should show num_replicas = 3)
cockroach sql --insecure --host=localhost:26257 \
-e "SHOW ZONE CONFIGURATION FOR RANGE default;"
