Agent Development with CockroachDB using the LangChain Framework
Recently we launched an integration with LangChain, the most popular orchestration framework for developing applications with large language models, to simplify development of production-ready agentic AI applications with CockroachDB. This integration provides out-of-the-box support for CockroachDB as a vector source for any LangChain user using LangChain Python.

300-Node Clusters Now Supported in CockroachDB
As AI-driven and agentic applications push data platforms into new territory, data architects are increasingly forced to choose between correctness, simplicity, and scale. Today, we’re removing that tradeoff — announcing support for 300-node clusters with 2.2M tpmC and 1.2PB of data in CockroachDB v25.4.4 and beyond. On CockroachDB Cloud, we’re announcing support for 64 vCPU per node. Testing to this scale is important to ensure that we’re testing ahead of customer deployments, and this milestone does just that. We believe these tests represent the largest node-scale testing completed by any distributed SQL vendor. And we’re just getting started.

Agentic AI Needs a New Database Foundation
Agentic AI systems represent a big shift for artificial intelligence: from stateless inference to autonomous, long-running software agents that plan, reason, act, observe outcomes, and adapt over time. These agents operate continuously, coordinate with other agents and tools, and maintain evolving state across complex workflows.
