Managing the complexity of inventory and order tracking systems is a challenge only exacerbated by modern user expectations. In this session, we’ll hear from someone who is all too familiar with these challenges: Bryan Call, Senior Principal Engineer at Route.

Route’s platform supports an eCommerce network of 13,000 brands, 3+ million active app users, and 1+ billion orders. To succeed in this space, Route invested in a best-in-class, yet simple solution that provides always-on availability, globally consistent and accurate data, and performance at scale…

• Broke apart their monolith and moved to a distributed SQL database
• Built an always-on architecture that withstands failures
• Easily scales up (and down) order management to meet increasing enterprise demand
• Invested in CockroachDB to set them up for future business growth
