WHITEPAPER

Modernize Applications and Infrastructure with CockroachDB

To stay competitive, enterprises must modernize legacy applications – starting with how they manage operational data. This whitepaper shows why distributed SQL is the foundation: a Postgres-compatible interface combined with the resilience, scalability, and consistency needed for cloud-native architectures, microservices, and AI-driven workloads.

Inside the Whitepaper

Application modernization

Why Modernization is Accelerating

From banking to retail, enterprises are re-platforming core apps to deliver better digital experiences, faster releases, and intelligent services. Cloud-native designs, microservices, and DevOps practices demand a fresh approach to managing data.

The Roadblocks of Legacy Infrastructure

Traditional monolithic databases weren’t built for elastic scale, continuous change, or multi-region availability. They slow down development and limit global performance, holding back modernization initiatives.
AI

A Modern Data Strategy for Cloud & AI

A distributed SQL platform scales microservices independently and consistently, ensures always-on availability, and keeps data close to global users. It must integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines, supporting transactional and vector data to power AI experiences.

The Modernization Imperative

Every modernization initiative ultimately runs through the database. Learn about real-world use cases in this third party report from analyst firm Intellyx – you’ll see why modern applications, from mobile banking to global e-commerce to AI-driven services, depend on distributed SQL to deliver speed, scale, resilience, and consistency without compromise.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why application modernization relies on a modular approach – and why success or failure is determined at the data layer

  • How cloud-native, microservices, and AI initiatives rely on operational data strategy

  • What resilient, distributed SQL looks like in real-world production environments, with real-world use cases across industries

  • How CockroachDB reduces fragility, cost, and complexity across the modernization journey

Modernize without limits on distributed SQL

CockroachDB powers cloud-native applications with a familiar PostgreSQL interface, global availability, always-on resilience, and built-in consistency. It minimizes migration risk by removing fragility and complexity while enabling innovation at global scale.
