HOW WE STRESS TEST AND BENCHMARK COCKROACHDB FOR GLOBAL SCALE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

CockroachDB is regularly stress-tested and benchmarked using various benchmarking methods. These tests include daily benchmarks using TPC-C and TPC-E benchmarks on different node configurations, weekly benchmarks with larger clusters, and per-release benchmarks before major software updates. Ad hoc tests, such as scalability testing with varying node counts and workload types, are conducted to understand performance at scale.
