Cockroach Labs builds CockroachDB, which the company describes as a cloud agnostic, PostgreSQL compatible database built for modern applications. It is positioned as distributed SQL for always on customer experiences, and as the system of record to power a business.

The resilience claim is that deployments survive regional failures with zero data loss, automated failover, and strong consistency, without runbooks and with minimal maintenance windows. On scale, the database removes manual sharding, letting teams start small and scale to hundreds of nodes and petabytes with no application re-architecture required.

For compliance and global deployment, teams can implement declarative policies that pin data to specific localities and geographic locations, supporting requirements across multiple markets while consolidating databases onto a modern PostgreSQL compatible platform.
