Solution Engineer @Cockroach Labs
Denver, CO, US
Data is the lifeblood of the digital economy. It enables companies to deliver innovative services and to disrupt the status quo. New languages, new architectures, new patterns. and all the while, the database has remained largely unchanged since the 1970s. Millions of dollars are lost due to outages and downtime, corporate reputations don’t recover and there is the never-ending costly operational overhead. Simply put, transactional databases weren’t built for modern distributed applications.Making scale so simple, you don’t even have to think about it. Making your data so resilient, it becomes impossible to destroy.Making delivery so seamless, your apps run anywhere.This is CockroachDB.CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database based ACID principle. It scales horizontally; survives disk, machine, rack, and region failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention; supports strongly-consistent ACID transactions; and provides a familiar SQL API for structuring, manipulating, and querying data.
