CockroachDB empowers the world’s most innovative companies with always-on availability, effortless global consistency, operational simplicity, and the flexibility to adapt to what’s next.
Application modernization powers business agility
Organizations are shifting to modern application solutions to increase the agility of their business and enhance the quality of customer and employee experiences. Several industry drivers are forcing this shift, including:
Move from monolithic applications to microservices
Although moving to microservices enables organizations to accelerate their application projects, it is challenging to maintain data persistence and data integrity without complex changes in application code.
Move from traditional VM environments to containers and Kubernetes
Although Kubernetes-based applications can reduce complexity in managing large-scale deployments and increase resource consumption, it is difficult to scale data infrastructure to keep up with demand.
Need for continuous application delivery
Ensuring seamless CI/CD requires zero-downtime application changes, automated database provisioning, and familiar developer tools.
Mainframe modernization
It is difficult to enable business-critical workloads to run on a horizontally scalable and distributed system while delivering the same transactional consistency and reliability as a mainframe.
Cloud and regulatory compliance loom large
Organizations are looking to modernize their data infrastructure due to requirements operating in highly regulated industries that must adhere to the highest standards of data integrity and regulatory scrutiny, and from the move to the cloud.
Hybrid cloud migration and adoption
As organizations deploy their applications and infrastructure in the cloud, it is challenging to scale applications and achieve high availability across global locations and fluctuating demands while integrating with existing cloud services.
Multi-cloud adoption
Organizations are looking to enable cloud portability between cloud providers to manage risk, enhance resilience, and operate at a global scale.
Regulations and compliance
Global organizations are adopting regulations around where data is generated, stored, processed, and distributed. Regulations include: General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
The ascendance of AI
Organizations are rapidly adopting AI technologies and looking for future-proof platforms to spin up their AI applications. Use-cases include chatbots, content generation, semantic search, and recommendation engines.
Converged data platform for AI
New AI models can hallucinate unless AI data is integrated with existing transactional data. Having vector data and transactional data in two separate databases increases operational complexity and adds additional latency.
Scaling AI performance
AI applications need ways to generate fast queries and reduced computational overhead from data infrastructure.
Enhancing AI application resilience
Enterprise AI applications need to be resilient to failures and be able to withstand the impact of outages and downtime.
