We use Raft underneath the hood to maintain consistency across the replicas. re: 'There is no GPS sync'd atomic clock in Cockroach', Cockroach actually has a command line flag (--linearizable) which makes it behave like Spanner: wait for the max clock offset before returning a successful commit[1].
