It is a necessity.</p>https://www.pistack.xyz/posts/cockroachdb-vs-yugabyte-vs-tidb-distributed-sql-guide-2026/Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pistack.xyz/posts/cockroachdb-vs-yugabyte-vs-tidb-distributed-sql-guide-2026/<h2 id="why-self-host-a-distributed-sql-database">Why Self-Host a Distributed SQL Database?</h2> <p>Modern applications demand databases that scale horizontally while maintaining full ACID compliance and SQL compatibility.
