Three quick notes:
(1) Although CockroachDB doesn't have the kind of "cold start" delays often associated with serverless, there can be a delay of a fraction of a second when a query comes in to a previously-dormant database.
(2) when a spike in traffic first hits your database, it may take 5-10 seconds to allocate all of the additional pods needed, depending on the specific circumstances. For more details on both of these, see the blog post: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/ho...
(3) In the video we mention that you can scale geographically by adding nodes in different regions, even across regions and clouds. To be clear: this capability is very real in CockroachDB Dedicated and CockroachDB Self-hosted. But it is not currently a capability in CockroachDB Serverless...stay tuned...
