From Legacy to Cloud-Native: 7 Lessons from Real Oracle Migrations

In our recent webinar, “From Oracle to CockroachDB: Lessons from Real Migrations”, technical experts Rohan Joshi and Alistair Parry walked through how real-world organizations across industries migrated mission-critical workloads from Oracle to CockroachDB. Through this talk, live demo, and engaging Q&A, the audience learned which Oracle workloads are a great fit for CockroachDB, how to tackle schema conversion and PL/SQL refactoring, and how our MOLT (Migrate Off Legacy Technology) toolset accelerates the process.

The Database Capabilities That Power Vector Search in AI Applications

Vector search is the backbone of intelligent AI experiences: semantic search, personalization, recommendations, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). But storing and querying high-dimensional embeddings at scale is only part of the challenge.

CockroachDB agentic applications BLOG (1)

Why Agentic Applications Need Deterministic Foundations

Building agentic applications means you’re deliberately inviting non-determinism into your system. AI agents’ creativity and adaptability is super powerful, but it’s also dangerous if your data layer isn’t rock solid. The more flexible the top of your stack becomes, the stronger the foundation underneath has to be. This principle is what led me to anchor my agentic stack in CockroachDB.

Generative AI

Always-on metadata for continuous operations

When we think of critical data, we often think of payments, health records, identities, etc. However, when it comes to the functionality of business-critical applications, metadata is often the unsung hero. This is becoming even more true in the AI era where organizations are using metadata to turn raw data into strategic assets that fuel sustainable and scalable growth. Metadata provides the context behind AI workloads so that developer teams know where it came from, how it’s been used, and whether or not it's trustworthy.
