Cockroach Labs

We are excited to announce the second edition of O'Reilly’s CockroachDB: The Definitive Guide. https://cockroa.ch/4jgZbii 10 years ago, we set out to build the kind of database that modern applications need — developer friendly, resilient by nature, operationally efficient, almost infinitely scalable. Today, #CockroachDB is powering some of the world’s most mission-critical applications and innovating in the category of #distributedSQL. The latest edition of O’Reilly’s guide goes behind the scenes of this ascendant product category, showing you: - How to build and deploy applications with a modern, #PostgreSQL compatible and distributed #SQL database designed to meet you where you are at, whether you are on-prem, hybrid,  or #multicloud - How developers, architects, and #devops teams can build resilient applications that scale effortlessly for their users, all while remaining highly available and essentially indestructible.

Welcome to the party. Oracle just unveiled its vision for distributed databases in an AI-native world with more to come at its industry conference in October -- a signal that the market is finally catching up to what we have been building toward for years. At Cockroach Labs, we’ve spent the last 10 years building for this. Performance under adversity. Global scale. Compliance without compromise. While others are announcing what’s next, we’re already delivering. The future of AI-resilient infrastructure isn’t on a keynote slide. It’s running in production today. The future of distributed databases isn't a keynote. It's real. It's live. And it's ready now. See it in action at RoachFest Las Vegas: https://lnkd.in/ein9nwk2

Q. What’s faster than a distributed database built for resilience? A. One that buffers its writes. Buffered writes in CockroachDB significantly reduce network round trips – cutting SQL complexity and workload latency. That’s not just a nice-to-have: This is production-level high performance, optimized for better user experiences. 🧠 Learn how buffered writes help teams build faster, more scalable apps: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eP3qC8RY

For today’s focus, Greg says: “Don't use SELECT *. That's the rule of thumb you may have heard once, maybe a million times. But we all know...rules of thumb work until they don't. “So what, exactly, is it about SELECT * that probably spells doom if you use it in your production queries?
