We use it a bit at my company, it is pretty nice for what it is. It is one of the few open source databases that gets basic cluster management right. While the abstract transaction model is inspired by Spanner’s et al, CockroachDB is not designed to be geo-federated in the way that Spanner is, which is the part of Spanner that is uniquely useful. For Cockroach, that would still require custom hardware as well as a material change in the architecture. Inexplicably, Cockroach uses TCP wire protocols, which ensures it won't work well for large-scale federated systems.
