How Two FinTech Giants Migrated From Oracle to CockroachDB

Modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems require a database that is always available, provides super low latencies, and spans applications and regions. In this tech talk, we will walk through how two financial services companies built their IAM systems using CockroachDB, migrating away from legacy Oracle technologies.

Case study 1: A top US financial software company turned to CockroachDB to improve its application login experience. Originally built with Oracle GoldenGate, the company found GoldenGate couldn’t provide the fast, always available login experience that users required. The company was drawn to CockroachDB’s high availability, low latency, and consistency. Case study 2: A financial data firm consolidated multiple legacy Oracle databases into a single global CockroachDB deployment. The first application built on CockroachDB is their IAM system, which has consistency and data locality requirements that Oracle could not meet.
