CockroachDB

Database for Large-Scale AI Workloads

Built for a new wave of cloud-agnostic companies growing at unprecedented rates with massive volumes of operational AI data.

Trusted in production by customers including:

Featured Use Cases

Combine the power of vector and operational data into a single data platform

Identity Access Management

Enable always-on authentication and access for your customers to ensure a seamless online experience.

Metadata Management

Manage user and AI agent metadata with global, always-on access and providing a highly available and relational data store.

Feature & Object Storage

The database you can’t kill is the authoritative place to store and maintain the most accurate and up-to-date data for your business.

Vector Search

Reduce application complexity with vector search built-in to the core database with the only distributed indexing for fast, accurate results that stay fresh.

Modern IAM for OpenAI with Ory and CockroachDB

The rapid adoption of OpenAI's ChatGPT introduced complex identity and access management (IAM) challenges.

See how Ory's authentication and authorization capabilities, paired with CockroachDB’s distributed architecture, delivered the performance, resilience, and scalability required for OpenAI's complex ecosystem of AI products.

Designed for the next generation of AI apps

Integrated PostgreSQL interface

PostgreSQL compatibility makes it easy for developers to adopt CockroachDB without rewriting their applications. For AI Innovators, Postgres compatibility on a distributed SQL platform is important because Postgres on its own, for real-time, agent-driven workloads, exposes its architectural limits.

Elastic scale

CockroachDB’s cloud-native architecture enables seamless, elastic scaling to handle growing workloads without downtime. It automatically rebalances data and workload across nodes to maintain performance as demand changes. This ensures high availability and consistent performance without manual sharding or overprovisioning.

Out-of-the-box data domiciling

CockroachDB has native data domiciling capabilities to make it simple to specify locations for data residency. Not only does this help meet compliance requirements, but it also reduces latency for the end user since data is stored close to them.

Why CockroachDB?

Always-on availability

Built on RAFT replication

Logical Data Replication

Prepare for unplanned and planned downtime

AI ecosystem integration and modern workflows

Innovative distributed vector indexing

Change Data Capture (CDC)

Operational flexibility for AI teams

AI models are growing in size and complexity, and we wanted to build a solution for our customers that would allow them to leverage their AI workloads with speed and efficiency. This also meant that we needed a reliable, horizontally scalable database that could deliver the most up-to-date data without spending a lot of time on maintenance. We decided to use CockroachDB to power our AI Object Storage service, and we've been pleased with the results. CockroachDB is durable, provides strong data consistency guarantees, seamlessly scales, and helps simplify operations.
