Keep mission-critical applications running across any infrastructure
Distributed SQL at the core
CockroachDB operates as one logical SQL database across all your nodes and regions—no sharding, no manual routing. It behaves like a single system and scales automatically, even across continents.
Multi-active availability
Your app shouldn’t go down when something breaks. CockroachDB keeps nodes active and in sync, so traffic keeps flowing—with no downtime and no data loss, even during machine, zone, or region failures.
Schema changes in production
Most SQL databases treat schema changes like downtime. CockroachDB does the opposite—apply changes in production without blocking queries, locking tables, or risking stability.
Geo-partitioning for control
CockroachDB gives you precise control over data location. Place rows, tables, or databases in specific regions to meet compliance, reduce latency, and support data residency—no workarounds required.
PostgreSQL compatibility
Use the SQL your team already knows. CockroachDB is fully PostgreSQL-compatible, so developers can build, scale, and query without relearning or rewriting—just ship faster with tools they trust.
Cloud-native deployment
Whether you’re deploying across multiple clouds or expanding into new regions, CockroachDB runs the same everywhere. It scales elastically, adapts to your stack, and supports hybrid and multi-cloud setups without complexity or lock-in.
Legacy databases fail where resilience matters most
Most databases weren’t built for how modern teams work. Failovers are fragile, global scale is a fight, and shipping features risks breaking things.
CockroachDB solves these challenges at the architecture level—with multi-active availability, geo-partitioning, and online schema changes—so your app stays online, your data stays close, and your team moves fast without downtime.
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.
