CockroachDB

Postgres isn't broken, it's just meeting a problem it was never designed for -> AI-scale: millions of concurrent ops, global distribution, zero downtime. That's a signal the architecture needs to evolve. CockroachDB picks up where Postgres leaves off. ✅ cockroachlabs.com/blog/ai-scale-…

New episode of Big Ideas in App Architecture is out! ✨ David talks with Charity Majors of Honeycomb.io about what it actually takes to understand production in a world of distributed systems and where observability is headed next. youtu.be/6mX3zqMkfp4

Just had one of those 🔥 conversations with @mipsytipsy that makes your brain do backflips. We went from her journey building @honeycombio, to the real meaning of observability (not just dashboards… but actually understanding your systems), to where AI is taking all of this… and wow. A few takeaways that stuck with me: • Observability isn’t about logs/metrics/traces — it’s about asking better questions of your system • The future isn’t “more dashboards” — it’s systems that explain themselves • AI is about to turn debugging into a conversation, not a war room • The pace of change right now? Honestly… a little insane (in a good way) The wild part — everything we thought was “advanced” infra just a few years ago already feels outdated. We’re moving toward a world where: → systems are adaptive → insights are instant → and engineers become decision-makers, not just firefighters Left the convo equal parts inspired and slightly overwhelmed. If you’re building in infra / AI right now… you can feel it — something big is shifting.

AI didn't just bring more traffic, it changed who generates load, how often, & how predictably. 30% of technology leaders expect the database to be the first to show the strain. The fix? Architecture -> that's where Distributed SQL comes in. More here: cockroachlabs.com/blog/ai-scale-…

Payment systems can't afford an inaccurate ledger, a single point of failure, or a maintenance window. CockroachDB gives fintech teams horizontal scale, strong consistency across regions, and 99.999% availability. More here: cockroachlabs.com/blog/scaling-p…

When you're handling payments for 4M+ merchants worldwide, your database can't have a single point of failure. SumUp moved from Postgres to CockroachDB and haven't looked back. Learn more: cockroa.ch/4sD7b1W

The gap between AI prototype and production-ready app just got a lot smaller. Our new LangChain integration means developers can build agentic AI applications on CockroachDB without the extra setup. More here: cockroachlabs.com/blog/agent-dev…

Because CockroachDB doesn't need babysitting...

On March 12th a panel of experts from @OryCorp & Cockroach Labs are joining forces to dive into what "AI-ready" really means and how your enterprise can prepare for it. Save your spot: cockroachlabs.com/webinars/why-d…

Devnexus here we come 😎 We're excited to be Platinum sponsors at this week's premiere Java ecosystem conference. Find us at the event to chat building apps that are resilient, scalable, and ready to grow. devnexus.com

We’ve published a concrete reference architecture built on CockroachDB that shows how reporting, historical access, point-in-time views, & semantic query patterns can run alongside transactional ingest, all in one operational system. 🔗: cockroachlabs.com/blog/global-re…

On March 5, Rob Reid joins @OReillyMedia’s Software Architecture Superstream: Software Architecture and the Age of Agentic AI. Alongside an expert panelist, attendees will receive a front-row seat to the practical side of building for autonomous agents. oreilly.com/live-events/so…

CockroachDB enables betting platforms to scale up or down instantly, w/ no resharding, and no drama. With strong consistency, predictable performance, & global data placement, we keep millions of players online no matter where or when they log in. youtube.com/shorts/rxgBFEL…

Happening February 19: CockroachDB experts are hosting an in-depth masterclass on Distributed SQL & how it enables: → Agentic scale → Effortless resilience → Rolling upgrades w/ zero downtime → & much more! cockroachlabs.com/webinars/distr…

As AI-driven & agentic applications push data platforms into new territory, data architects are increasingly forced to choose between correctness, simplicity, & scale. We're excited to share that we’re removing that tradeoff & announcing support for 300-node clusters.

Real-time fraud decisions require more than models. They require systems that stay online, decide in milliseconds, & scale globally w/ out breaking consistency. That’s why teams are pairing CockroachDB + AWS AI for a resilient decisioning fabric. cockroachlabs.com/blog/fraud-doe…

AI is changing what “production-ready” means. Systems now need to scale continuously, stay available under unpredictable load, and adapt in real time. Explore this architectural shift in The State of AI Infrastructure 2026. cockroachlabs.com/guides/state-o…

A better foundation for modern reporting starts with the database. Explore architectural patterns for building reporting platforms that deliver real-time insights without sacrificing correctness, availability, or governance. cockroachlabs.com/blog/rethinkin…

With database migrations, downtime, data correctness, & business risk are all on the line. That’s why we built MOLT (Migrate Off Legacy Technology), a migration toolkit purpose-built for CockroachDB & designed for production-grade scale and observability. cockroachlabs.com/blog/molt-migr…
