Outages lurk in the dark — CockroachDB keeps the lights on. 💡 Built for resilience, CockroachDB ensures your applications stay available even when things get scary. 👻

As AI systems become more autonomous, the need for predictable, trustworthy infrastructure only grows. When creativity and uncertainty live at the AI layer, your data layer has to be rock-solid. Kiki Carter and David Bressler explain more: 

AI isn’t just accelerating software—it’s reshaping scale itself. What once grew in steps now grows in surges. Workloads that used to rise with users are now driven by autonomous agents, running continuously, globally, and at machine speed. At Cockroach Connect AI SF, we’re unpacking the hidden infrastructure challenges behind AI, and exploring the architectural foundations needed to sustain this shift. Hear from Cockroach Labs’ Spencer Kimball and Coatue Management’s Lucas Swisher, plus deep technical dives from ClickHouse and Automation Anywhere. Join the next generation of innovators at SHACK15 1 Ferry Building in San Francisco to connect, learn, and explore what it takes to build for an AI-driven world. https://cockroa.ch/47qiscS

Metadata turns raw data into context, helping teams understand where it came from, how it’s used, and whether it can be trusted. It’s the unsung hero of business-critical applications. But when metadata isn’t available, downtime can disrupt the backbone of your business. Learn how always-on metadata ensures resilience, uptime, and continuous operations: https://cockroa.ch/3JuKEmW

Scaling write-heavy workloads just got simpler. In CockroachDB 25.3, we introduced value separation at the storage layer (as public preview), delivering 50–60% higher throughput for wide-row, write heavy workloads. Learn more: https://cockroa.ch/3Jwt7La

A big thank you to our customers, FanDuel, Squarespace, and Cisco AI for joining us last week at #RoachFest25 Las Vegas. 🏈 Jordan Leach & Alex Chadwick from FanDuel took center stage to discuss how their team modernized their financial ledger by migrating to CockroachDB, keeping customer transactions safe and adhering to compliance guidelines. 💻 Gavin McQuillan of Squarespace put the spotlight on how they migrated several use cases off PostgreSQL to CockroachDB to deliver always-on availability and global performance at scale. 💪 Last but not least, Arjun Sambamoorthy of CiscoAI closed the show detailing how they migrated Cisco AI Defense to CockroachDB for resilience, compliance, and growth.

AI moves fast, your data should, too. 🏃 CockroachDB is built for that world and our EVP of R&D Isaac Wong couldn’t agree more. Hear why CockroachDB in the foundation for what’s next in AI. #RoachFest25

🗓️ Happening today! It’s not too late to join our live webinar: Scalable SQL Databases on Kubernetes. Why attend? Get practical lessons from running large-scale databases on K8s (and understand when it can be beneficial), apply modern database best practices—automation, resilience, and elasticity—to your own environment, and see how CockroachDB orchestrates thousands of clusters natively in K8s. https://cockroa.ch/3VVOf02
