From Oracle to CockroachDB: Lessons from Real Migrations

From decades-old mainframes to globally distributed cloud apps, many organizations are rethinking Oracle for modern systems that need a resilient, cloud-native, and cost-effective database. In this webinar, our technical experts walk through the details of how real customers — spanning financial services, SaaS, and global commerce — migrated mission-critical workloads from Oracle to CockroachDB.

Companies are migrating from Oracle to CockroachDB because they want a modern cloud-native architecture that scales globally, but yet requires less effort than ever before to manage. They find Oracle complex with a lack of modern resilience as measured by our Performance Under Adversity benchmark, not to mention the burdensome compliance regime Oracle subjects its customer to with each ELA renewal.

In this webinar, Rohan and Alistair lead a technical discussion on migrating from Oracle to CockroachDB. You’ll learn:

• Which Oracle workloads are a great fit for CockroachDB — and why

• How CockroachDB enables resilience against outages, scales effortlessly, and supports multi-cloud deployment

• How customers approached replatforming: schema conversion, dealing with Oracle-specific features (like sequences and PL/SQL), and minimizing rewrites

• How the Migrate Off Legacy Technologies (MOLT) toolset accelerates migrations with minimal code changes
