Case study: Distributed SQL at work
Challenge
The company needed to support future growth, eliminate manual sharding, and ensure uninterrupted uptime for mission-critical systems of records. They identified more than ten applications that could benefit from migrating to a distributed SQL database.
Solution
In a proof of concept, CockroachDB met all of their criteria: seamless deployment with Kubernetes, high availability with automatic failover, elastic scalability without performance impact, strong consistency, enterprise-grade security, compatibility with existing tools, and robust documentation and support.
Built for the next generation of quant firms
Horizontal scale without manual sharding
CockroachDB automatically rebalances data across nodes as demand changes to ensure high availability and consistent performance. Even when running globally, CockroachDB functions as a single logical database to simplify access to all of your data.
Survive any type of failure
CockroachDB’s self-healing infrastructure allows you to survive an AZ, node, region, or cloud provider failure. It reduces RPO and RTO to near zero so sensitive quantitive data is never lost. Make quick changes to the system to adapt to fluctuating client needs without downtime for online schema changes, rolling upgrades, and other regular maintenance.
Global database with unified data
Follow the business opportunity and scale out across any region. Run a globally distributed database while achieving a single pane of glass view of all your data. Consolidate workloads where it makes sense, and allow others to be compartmentalized. CockroachDB allows you to control where data resides down to the row level, and has robust role-based access controls.
Reduce operations, deliver results
Refine and improve proprietary systems with a distributed SQL database that can automate operations. Streamline application development with a familiar PostgreSQL interface and integrate CockroachDB with your existing data infrastructure. Eliminate complex, manual operations and automate tasks to improve the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of your systems.
