Introduction to CockroachDB on AWS

As modern applications evolve, their data demands continue to grow. Database architects and administrators are expected to manage increasing transaction volumes across expanding datasets while maintaining security, uptime, and low latency. Traditional relational databases require effort and maintenance to scale horizontally, and while NoSQL systems offer scale, they typically compromise on transactional consistency.

Distributed SQL bridges that gap by offering the consistency and structure of relational databases, combined with the scalability, survivability, and performance of distributed systems.

Join Rob Reid, Technical Evangelist at Cockroach Labs and David Joy, Senior Manager of Sales Engineering at Cockroach Labs, for an interactive session exploring how CockroachDB on AWS helps you build modern, resilient, and globally available applications. 

In this session, you will learn:

• How distributed SQL came to be

• Key characteristics of a distributed SQL database

• Fundamentals of how CockroachDB, a distributed SQL database, operates on AWS

• How CockroachDB on AWS can power your applications, through seamless integrations such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon S3, Redshift – and many more
