With CockroachDB release 24.3 we are introducing write-ahead log (WAL) failover, a solution for transient disk stalls commonly seen in cloud storage. During a disk stall, the underlying storage is not available, adding application latency. While we can’t prevent disk stalls, WAL failover helps minimize their impact on CockroachDB instances.
