Build on a single, logical, multi-node capable database that handles high read and write loads—no sharding or manual upkeep required.
Control locality at the database, table, and row level to achieve your read-write latency goals and determine where sensitive data resides.
Run any combination of cloud(s) and/or on-prem infrastructure. Easily transfer app & data between environments to address regulations and avoid vendor lock-in.
Survive unintended failures without suffering loss of availability, data consistency, or data loss.
Perform schema changes without downtime. Rolling upgrades let you take nodes offline one at a time without disrupting service.
Use standard SQL to query, analyze, and optimize your workloads. PostgreSQL compatibility allows you to migrate existing apps without rewriting code.

Most databases weren’t built for how modern teams actually work. When usage spikes, you’re left managing brittle failovers. When data needs to move globally, your platform pushes back. When features need to ship, you brace for breakage.
CockroachDB solves these challenges at the architectural level. It delivers multi-active availability with automatic failover so your app stays online through node failures and zone outages. Geo-partitioning lets you move data where it needs to be, reducing latency and meeting compliance without manual intervention, and with online schema changes, you can evolve your data model in production without downtime or lockups.
The best engineering teams don’t wait for their infrastructure to catch up. They build on systems that scale effortlessly, stay online without fail, and adapt to any growth strategy.
CockroachDB is the database that does just that. Built for global, business-critical applications, trusted for high availability, and designed for developer agility, it eliminates the friction that slows teams down — from schema changes and failovers to cross-region consistency. Full PostgreSQL compatibility ensures there’s no learning curve, and reduced complexity empowers your engineers to ship faster without the usual obstacles.
When the next wave of growth hits, your team will be ready to move forward, not pause to rebuild.
