Mostly an easy and performant HA story that can scale to a huge number of queries per second for an app that is largely CRUD and vanilla webapp saas queries. Cockroach seems perfect but the performance seems pretty scary in certain scenarios. Being able to just drop the DB into a k8s cluster and not worry too much about failover gotchas and leader election has a lot of value. As does being able to throw more nodes on for more performance. Complicated OLAP queries aren't in scope.

Either are a good fit for you, but since you have simpler queries than CRDB will be easier to run. Performance is fine, why do you say it's scary? OLAP will just be slow, but it's also distributed and unoptimized. Highly concurrent OLTP can't really get slow unless you're trying to stretch the cluster over multiple geo regions.
