Migrating from Postgres to CockroachDB

For many years, Postgres has been a reliable backbone for countless applications and systems. But as traffic grows, regions multiply, and uptime expectations tighten, teams are running into hard limits around writes, resilience, and operational overhead like VACUUM tuning, DR failover events, and external connection poolers. 

During this webinar, we will provide tips for recognizing when your application may be outgrowing Postgres and it might make sense to move to CockroachDB. We’ll also cover how to de-risk the migration, as well as how CockroachDB’s distributed, scale‑out SQL architecture performs at agentic scale and allows for true multi-region writes, zero‑downtime resilience, simpler recovery, and built‑in data lifecycle management—all without giving up the Postgres familiarity you rely on today.

Join Rohan Joshi and Alistair Parry to see how to execute these migrations with minimal risk and complexity, using CockroachDB’s Postgres compatibility to preserve language and familiarity your teams already know. Building on their first session on migrations from Oracle to CockroachDB, this second episode will showcase our migration toolkit, MOLT, which streamlines schema and data movement and helps orchestrate cutover so you’re not stitching together custom scripts.
