LDR supports active-active deployments, allowing both source and destination clusters to serve traffic simultaneously, making it ideal for 2DC architectures, low-latency reads/writes, multi-cloud strategies, and workload isolation. For more information, refer to the latest documentation and an earlier blog post. + + |

+ Major Reduction in Duplicate Messages for Changefeeds ++ A major improvement to changefeeds significantly reduces the number of duplicate messages emitted during restarts and retries. This means more accurate data delivery, lower processing overhead for downstream consumers, and a smoother experience overall. This improvement is especially beneficial in systems with large tables or uneven processing speeds, where legacy checkpointing often led to unnecessary message duplication. + |

+ Enriched Changefeed format for easier integration and richer metadata ++ An enriched changefeed format has been introduced in Preview that aligns with the Debezium message structure, making it significantly easier to integrate CockroachDB into existing CDC pipelines. This new format adds structured metadata and flexibility to the changefeed message body, allowing seamless migrations from PostgreSQL or Debezium-based systems without re-architecting downstream services. Whether you're working with real-time analytics, event-driven systems, or audit logs, the enriched format provides clear context about each change event, including source information, schema, operation type, and timestamps. It simplifies debugging, enhances observability, and makes changefeeds more useful in complex, distributed architectures. + |

+ Row-Level Security ++ Controlling who can access what data is more important than ever as organizations scale and modernize their data infrastructure. As enterprises move to modernize their critical databases, they need fine-grained, built-in access controls that go beyond table-level permissions. That’s why, with the 25.2 release of CockroachDB, we’re introducing Row-Level Security — a powerful feature that allows you to define and enforce access policies at the row level, directly within the database. This form of mandatory access control enables developers and operators to tightly govern data visibility based on user roles or attributes — making it a natural fit for securing sensitive workloads and building robust multi-tenant applications. With row-level security, CockroachDB makes it simple to isolate data, comply with regulatory requirements, and reduce application-side complexity — all while maintaining performance at scale and with minimal application changes. + + |
