Make sure you thoroughly test your multi-region deploys. Last time we tried the system was not stable when a region went down. Also beware of this anti pattern: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/topology-patterns....

Interesting. So you followed the advice of deploying to greater than two regions and your DB didn't survive when you lost a region or you only deployed to two and got bit by the anti-pattern?

Even with >2 when one goes down CDB performed poorly.
