CockroachDB Serverless has a permanent free tier to make sure every developer always has the right capacity and 99.99% uptime — and never overspends to get them.
In an age of constant disruption, the only viable strategy is to adapt. The ability to innovate is necessary for survival — and serverless can help make innovation simply an everyday part of doing business.
A serverless database is any database that embodies the core principles of the serverless computing paradigm. This blog details what that means for developers.
A toast to Edgar F. (Ted) Codd, godfather of the relational database. Ted Codd did for the database what Xerox PARC did for personal computers: made them accessible to everyday humans.
Why should you learn SQL? To get better at programming, troubleshooting, and optimizing your code — even if you never touch a database.
Customers base their purchase decisions on item availability, price, and speed of delivery. Current trends are making it harder for retailers to provide all three reliably.
How can fintech companies scale fast, scale globally, and above all scale reliably? Here are true tales of how three global financial services companies faced, and solved, these three different challenges.
For operators, architects, and developers alike, data domiciling can be one tough technical nemesis. Now, CockroachDB super regions grant your multi-region application the equivalent of data domiciling super powers!
design
Multi-region applications are resilient in ways that single-region (and even single AZ) applications cannot match. Designing multi-region application architecture doesn't have to be complicated — just use Google Cloud Run and CockroachDB.

Three tech trends to keep an eye on in 2022: Serverless reaches critical mass, developer decision-makers and transactional data moving to the cloud
All databases are ultimately just applications. A serverless database, then, is any database that embodies the core principles of a serverless application. To be a true serverless SQL database, however, you must meet a few additional requirements.

During its 169 year history, Wells Fargo & Company has repeatedly used technology to innovate and advance itself — a standout within the traditionally change-averse financial services industry. Now the third largest bank in the US is innovating once again, going not just cloud but multi-cloud.
The Kubernetes Adoption Trends report asked 200+ engineers and architects how they deploy K8s in production. We dig in on production workloads, DevOps team structures, and deal-breakers.
As a retailer, using a distributed SQL database lets you simplify application architecture while also increasing developer productivity. Even small tech teams can handle the complexities of distributed data with CockroachDB, eliminating manual operations and complicated configurations while ensuring optimal performance. All so they, and you, can spend time focusing on what matters: your customers.
Kubernetes is the de facto solution for orchestrating distributed applications. And, increasingly, developers are being required to interact with it. So let’s get the tl;dr on what devs need to know about Kubernetes.
Access to cloud computing and distributed databases has democratized retail technology for every size org. To truly harness this power, though, you need the right application architecture.
Join the authors of two new reports by Cockroach Labs and Red Hat OpenShift, respectively, as they discuss the survey results that show a pragmatic snapshot of how organizations work with Kubernetes.
