Benchmarks for Camunda with cockroach DB?

I noticed that Camunda now allows you to use cockroach DB as the backing database. I am curious to know what the performance gains are. Does anyone know of any benchmark tests that have been performed comparing performance to a traditional SQL database?

I am aware of Zeebe and Camunda cloud, which perhaps is the direction to go in at this point if you need performance but there are still characteristics of “Camunda Traditional” that I like. Am curious to know how far you can push Camunda if you have a horizontally scalable Database like cockroach.

Thanks

Currently our first implementation for getting Camunda working with cockroch DB hasn’t involved fully optimizing it for performance, so right now the isn’t much point bench-marking it. In future releases we’ll spend some more time improving performance.
