CockroachDB

Catch Cockroach Labs at AI Native DevCon, November 2–4. We'll be chatting w/ devs building real AI systems about scaling thousands of databases w/ out giving up resilience or control. If your database count requires a comma, come say hi. 👋 https://aidevcon.io/

DBAs aren’t going away when agents automate provisioning. Their judgment still guides capacity, tenant isolation, and cost trade-offs across the database estate, especially as AI disrupts planning and FinOps pressure grows. https://cockroa.ch/4zHR4DC

Cockroach Aegis learns your cluster’s baseline, investigates changes, and surfaces evidence-backed next steps—continuously, while your team stays in control. https://cockroa.ch/4yfD03k

Our weekend plans!

Idle capacity gets expensive fast. Cockroach Continuum lets isolated databases share capacity, while usage-based storage aligns costs with the data you hold. See how Continuum changes the cost curve: https://cockroa.ch/4hkvU8x

Move over Sherlock Holmes, Cockroach Aegis is in town: an agentic operations system that watches your database fleet, sniffs out trouble before it spreads, and hands your team the answers to fix it fast.

Provisioning a database used to mean: ticket, wait, apologize, repeat. Cockroach Continuum's Virtual Clusters spin up fully isolated environments in under 3 seconds, no ticket required. Learn more: https://cockroa.ch/4hkvU8x

Sizing a database for peak load means it's idle most of the time — and you're still paying for that idle capacity. Cockroach Continuum tackles this with Cockroach Plenum, our disaggregated storage substrate. Storage and compute scale independently.

Every agentic workload wants its own database. Multiply that across your whole fleet of agents, & your infra team is drowning. Meet Cockroach Continuum: built to create, isolate, & run many databases w/out your infra (or your DBAs) breaking a sweat.

Nobody wants their database estate to feel like an actual estate sale — mismatched systems, duct tape, a sign that says "everything must go." That's fragmented infra that doesn't work for AI workloads. Oct 15: see how Cockroach Continuum fixes it: www.cockroachlabs.com/webinars/mee...

They say cockroaches will outlast us all. We'd settle for outlasting your database problems. New look, same resilience: distinct parts, adapting together, make the whole stronger.

Cockroach Continuum pools compute and storage across CockroachDB databases to share capacity, scale independently, and reduce DBA operational overhead.

One more thing... At RoachFest Las Vegas, @kelseyhightower.com will be bringing his perspective to the RoachFest stage!

Our Co-Founder and CEO Spencer Kimball joined @quinnypig.com on the Last Week in AWS podcast to discuss the current state of resilience. 🎧 Give it a listen and subscribe at cockroa.ch/3Bd13Zi

🤖💬 When it comes to creating natural conversations with chatbots, context is key. Pinecone built this GenAI chatbot example with CockroachDB to store the user-based conversational context and history. 💻 Go deeper into the architecture: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/javascript-chatbot

TLDR: Follower reads are our implementation of stale reads. For CockroachDB users aiming to get good performance from databases accessed from multiple geographical regions, this is an essential read. https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/follower-reads-stale-data/

❓“What do you think of the name CockroachDB?” 🪳 We asked some of our customers this question backstage at #RoachFest22. After hearing what they had to say about #CockroachDB’s resiliency, we’re feeling pretty good about our naming decision.
