CockroachDB Toughens Shell For Data-Intense Journey To Cloud
Summary
Aiming to toughen up its outer shell for the most arduous data environments in the midst of cloud computing migration initiatives this last month of 2022 is Cockroach Labs, the company behind the cloud-native distributed SQL database CockroachDB. Having now announced CockroachDB 22.2, the company says it has designed its software to deliver new functionality aimed at increasing developer and operator efficiency while simplifying the architecture of data-intensive applications (theres your nod to intensity again) and enabling teams to migrate off legacy technology to the cloud. “By partnering closely with our customers as they build scalable, resilient and low-latency applications, we’ve put together a release that is a leap forward in CockroachDB’s capabilities,” said Nate Stewart, chief product officer at Cockroach Labs. The new version can also optimize and troubleshoot workload performance with so-called ‘Intelligent Insights’, a branded new end-to-end monitoring experience that provides actionable fixes from the UI, which developers can apply with a single click in production without downtime. While CockroachDB might be built with a tough enough shell to withstand cloud migrations, the much-unloved cockroach back down on earth lends its name to the company in an attempt to suggest the inherent robustness that the firm has engineered into its product.
