October 2025 | As seasons change, is your database keeping up?
Cockroach Labs
The database enterprises trust to run mission-critical applications that deliver always-on customer experiences.
🍂 Don’t let a legacy database haunt you this fall—see why distributed SQL is the foundation for modern applications. Plus: Additional tips, tricks (and treats) on modernizing your database.
Microservices move fast. Legacy databases drag.
Legacy systems weren’t built for cloud-native apps, microservices, or AI. Our latest whitepaper shows why distributed SQL is the foundation for modern applications: a Postgres-compatible interface combined with the resilience, scalability, and consistency needed for cloud-native architectures, microservices, and AI-driven workloads. Check it out.
The countdown to RoachFest Las Vegas begins!
Joining the RoachFest Las Vegas lineup: Arjun Sambamoorthy, Co-Founder, Chief Architect & Head of Engineering at CiscoAI, covers why Cisco AI migrated from PostgreSQL to CockroachDB. (Hint: They had to meet their requirements for global availability, strict security, and compliance.) There’s still time to tune in for the database event of the year—use code RF100 to join us for free on October 14! Register for free.
