The Database at 550 Kilometers: What Orbital Computing Means for Distributed Databases

In Ashburn, Virginia, a row of servers draws 40 megawatts from the grid and exhales it as heat. Chilled water circulates through copper pipes at 2,800 liters per minute to carry that heat away.

Somewhere a CTO is having the best sleep of their life.

Distributed databases should remove the routine failure modes that keep application teams awake. Continuum coordinates resilient replicas and recovery so operators can focus on the product.

Scale across regions while preserving SQL semantics, operational clarity, and the availability critical applications require.

Proof there’s no such thing as Cockroach Problems.

Critical workloads need a data layer designed for infrastructure change. Continuum keeps applications available as traffic, regions, and deployment requirements evolve.

Teams retain familiar SQL while the platform handles distributed replication and recovery.

Build for the business outcome instead of rebuilding the database architecture for every new scale milestone.

ARCHITECTURE
Distributed SQL for critical workloads
Use familiar SQL with a distributed architecture designed for applications that need to keep running as traffic, data, and infrastructure complexity grow.

Where others usually get stepped on, we step up.

Somewhere a CTO is having the best sleep of their life.

Continuum automates the hard parts of distributed data operations without hiding the controls teams need for critical systems.

Application owners get predictable behavior through maintenance, failure, and growth.
