Tutorial: Augment your AI use case with RAG on CockroachDB

In this blog post, we dive into the significance and benefits of RAG applications first. Then we explore the advantages of leveraging CockroachDB, a highly scalable and resilient distributed SQL database, as the foundation for building efficient and robust RAG applications. To illustrate the practical implementation, I’ve created a knowledge base chatbot.

Inside OpenAI’s Always-On IAM Stack with Ory and CockroachDB

Through an Ory Enterprise License, OpenAI gained access to advanced authorization capabilities, along with the ability to self-host, fine-tune configurations, and maintain full control of its CIAM stack. Together with CockroachDB’s fault-tolerant, globally replicated database, the solution offers a modern IAM foundation that evolves with OpenAI’s pace of development — supporting security, compliance, and seamless user experiences at scale.

Ideal isn’t real: Stress testing CockroachDB’s resilience

In today’s always-on, global applications, raw speed is no longer enough. Modern enterprises demand not only blistering transaction rates but also unwavering stability when the unexpected strikes; whether that’s a network hiccup, a failing disk, or an entire data center going dark. With organizations averaging 86 outages a year, failures are the norm today. But traditional benchmarks like TPC-C only tell you how fast a database runs in perfect conditions, or sunny days. They leave out the more important story of what happens when things go wrong.
