Cybersecurity Use Cases

Build and scale security solutions on a future-proof foundation.

Identity Access Management

Built-in replication, geo-distribution, and ACID guarantees allow for quick authentication and secure access to systems and data

Advanced Feature Store

Store and maintain the most accurate and up-to-date data for your customers on a resilient, scalable foundation.

Metadata Management

Leverage a globally consistent and always available metadata store to deliver a low latency experience to a geographically dispersed user base.

IoT and Device Management

Enable end-to-end management of connected devices for deployment, connectivity, and integration with other systems.

Architecture Example: Ory + CockroachDB

Ory uses CockroachDB to deliver a distributed identity and access management infrastructure. This system is used to authenticate, authorize, manage, and protect customer identities. The stack is consistent across managed and self-hosted setups.

The workload layer integrates with multi-region CockroachDB clusters, making it a highly scalable, resilient, and performant design.

Built for mission-critical workloads

Survive failures and eliminate downtime.

CockroachDB’s self-healing infrastructure allows you to survive an AZ, node, region, or cloud provider failure. It reduces RPO and RTO to near zero so sensitive data is never lost. Make quick changes to the system to adapt to fluctuating user needs without downtime for online schema changes, rolling upgrades, and other regular maintenance.

Getting zero downtime and zero data loss

Horizontal scale without sharding silos.

Say goodbye to manual sharding and data silos forever. Even when running globally, CockroachDB scales horizontally and functions as a single logical database to provide a single pane of glass view to all your data. As workload demand changes, CockroachDB automatically rebalances data across nodes to ensure high availability and consistent performance.

Meet data residency & latency requirements.

Run a globally distributed, cloud-native database across any region that you have customers and choose your own deployment model (on-premise, hybrid, cloud). CockroachDB allows you to control where data resides down to the row level (with robust role-based access controls) to aid with regulations and reduce latency for the end user.
