Engineered for teams who expect more from their cloud database
Distributed SQL foundation
CockroachDB runs as one logical database across regions and clouds. It distributes data automatically, maintains consistency, and eliminates the need for sharding or stitching systems together.
High availability at every layer
If a server, zone, or region goes offline, your application stays up. CockroachDB handles failover automatically, so teams can deliver availability that matches the expectations of cloud-native systems.
Schema changes in production
Ship table and index changes without triggering downtime. CockroachDB applies updates in the background, giving developers the freedom to evolve their product without slowing anything down.
Data placement for performance and compliance
Geo-partitioning gives you precise control over where data lives. You can reduce latency for users, meet regulatory requirements, and simplify how you manage locality — all from the database layer.
PostgreSQL compatibility
Use the SQL your team already knows. CockroachDB is fully PostgreSQL-compatible, so developers can build, scale, and query with familiar syntax—no new tools, no rewrites, just faster delivery.
Cloud-native from the start
CockroachDB runs the same whether you're deploying in one region, across multiple clouds, or building a hybrid stack. It’s designed to support modern cloud infrastructure without added overhead.
Move fast, scale faster with a cloud database that keeps up.
You’re stuck choosing between performance and consistency, with brittle failovers and re-architecture every time you grow.
CockroachDB is a cloud-native SQL distributed database that delivers elasticity and flexibility without sacrificing consistency or reliability. As your infrastructure expands, the database stays in sync and fully available.
From first query to global scale with CockroachDB
Top engineering teams don’t wait for infrastructure to catch up. They build on systems that scale effortlessly, stay online, and adapt to any growth.
CockroachDB delivers what legacy systems can’t: global scale, high availability, and developer agility. It removes the friction of schema changes, failovers, and cross-region consistency—while full PostgreSQL compatibility keeps the learning curve low and productivity high.
When growth accelerates, your team moves forward instead of rebuilding.
