Cockroach Labs

We talked to 1,000 senior cloud and technology executives from all over the world about their organization’s operational resilience. https://cockroa.ch/4em7Zkl What we heard were stories of resistance to change, misaligned internal priorities, outdated systems, and budgetary gridlock that prevent organizations from implementing meaningful — sometimes even desperately needed — operational resilience measures. But outages don’t have to be the new normal. Our new guide may have some eye-opening figures, but it also contains solutions and strategies that enterprises can adopt in order to get on the road to resilience. If your business is ready to improve uptime while putting less stress on technical teams and the businesses’ bottom line, give our new State of Resilience 2025 guide a read. We made the first few pages available for you to read in this post, and you can also download the full guide at the link above.

In our State of Resilience report, 84% of responders said they lost at least $10,000 in revenue due to an outage in the last 12 months. https://cockroa.ch/4ecHDRH One third said they lost between $100,000 and more than $1 million. CRN's article on this year's largest cloud outages may look at some of the worst-case scenarios, but 2025 offers a transformational opportunity for your organization to invest in resilience. Take a look at the 10 biggest outages of 2024 below, and don't forget to read our Cost Of Resilience report at the link above.

See how Starburst built a multi-region application running on CockroachDB that guarantees high availability and delivers low latency: https://cockroa.ch/3ZIFHet When Starburst decided to build their Starburst Galaxy, their fully managed cloud lakehouse, they had several checkboxes they needed to tick, including the ability to: ✅ Deploy the application across multiple regions ✅ Ensure high availability ✅ Bring data close to customers ✅ Guarantee low latency (especially for reads) They needed a cloud-agnostic solution that solved the multi-region challenge for them, which led them to CockroachDB. Watch our video featuring Senior Principal Software Engineer Matt Stephenson to get an inside look at their distributed SQL journey.

See you can mitigate transient disk stalls with WAL Failover. https://cockroa.ch/4f2ZkDv In CockroachDB 24.3, we introduced write-ahead log (WAL) failover, a solution for transient disk stalls commonly seen in cloud storage. WAL Failover is designed to preserve write availability during a primary disk stall through the use of a secondary disk, which enhances database resiliency and performance for organizations running mission-critical workloads. To learn about the impact of disk stalls, the impact of implementing WAL Failover (as seen below), and when to use it, take a look at our blog from the Cockroach Labs product team.

Get an inside look at City Storage Systems’ Multi-Regional Microservices: https://cockroa.ch/3DixWEl How do you ensure low latency in a multi-regional microservices environment? City Storage Systems Software Engineer Frederik Stenum Mogensen took the stage at #RoachFest24 to answer this question in great detail. Read our stage recap and watch his full talk at the link above.

Are you expected to keep apps running securely without downtime, even for typical maintenance activities? https://cockroa.ch/3Bt3TJy Do your apps have data governance concerns by existing in regions around the world with a variety of compliance regimes? Join Rob Reid on January 15th for an interactive session and get ready to learn how delivering on these demands can be achieved with a modern, distributed SQL database. Interested in attending?

See how your organization can increase data availability between 2 or more data centers: https://cockroa.ch/3ZMaGY5 Logical Data Replication (LDR) enables data replication between CockroachDB clusters and enables both clusters to actively receive traffic during replication. At Cockroach Labs, we always aim to meet customers where they are. For example, some organizations run in two data centers as some applications can’t achieve the cost/benefit of supporting a third data center, tolerate multi-region latency, or may be deeply invested in two-data center configurations. In addition, we saw a desire to move data between CockroachDB clusters, unlocking new use cases including analytical workloads. To learn how we are helping our customers meet some of their most custom requirements while not compromising on CockroachDB’s foundational differentiators of scalability, resiliency, and consistency, take a look at our blog linked above.
