Switch from Postgres to CockroachDB please

arjunyel

Hello friends! I am hoping that the hosted Fusionauth can switch from postgres to cockroachDB.

I am making a latency sensitive application and it would help a lot if the hosted version of FA could be just a global serverless deploy, thank you!

P.S. I did see this post, outside of that one issue seems like CockroachDB would be a perfect fit https://fusionauth.io/blog/2021/08/09/using-fusionauth-with-cockroachdb/

I'd add on to what Josh is saying: it is extremely unlikely we'd switch the standard FusionAuth Cloud hosting service to CockroachDB. PostgreSQL meets our needs very well at this time.

However, it seems like CockroachDB compatibility is very close. I think there was just an issue with social logins and I believe that the FusionAuth user interviewed in the linked blog post filed an issue with them, as you mention.

Given that information:

feel free to host FusionAuth with CockroachDB in your own environment
if you are interested in FusionAuth building out a special deployment for you with CockroachDB, you can contact our sales team. This type of custom work typically requires an enterprise contract.
