Flowable provides a workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) platform for developers, system admins and business users, and now integrates with CockroachDB in just a few steps, thanks to a recent collaboration. Cockroach Labs and Flowable engineers have been teaming up since the early stages of CockroachDB because it makes deploying Flowable that much easier.

Aug 8, 2023 | cockroachlabs.com | Charlotte Dillon

Which is worse...? One of your users goes to check her bank balance in your app, and the service is down, or,One of your users goes to check her bank balance in your app and there's a data inconsistency. Engineers are frequently faced with this false tradeoff: do you place a higher premium on data correctness, or high availability? This problem only becomes more complicated when you begin dealing with users distributed across broad geographies.

Developers often have questions about how we've achieved this, and our short answer is this: Distributed SQL. Our long answer requires a deeper understanding of CockroachDB’s unique architecture. You definitely don’t need to understand the underlying architecture of CockroachDB in order to use CockroachDB.

GigaOm Radar Report: How enterprise companies compare cloud databases

Aug 8, 2023 | cockroachlabs.com | Charlotte Dillon

There’s a new paradigm in the database industry: Databases-as-a-Service. With their inherent advantages in elasticity, cost of ownership, and provisioning flexibility, the Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) model is quickly becoming the easy choice for small companies and startups. But in enterprise environments, navigating a paradigm shift like this is a different story. In enterprise environments, it may be imprudent to break completely from the on-premises past and present.
Intro to multi-region distributed SQL topologies

Aug 8, 2023 | cockroachlabs.com | Charlotte Dillon

CockroachDB is a Distributed SQL database. That means for the person doing the querying, everything looks like the SQL they’ve known for years. But under the hood, there’s a lot more going on. In order to achieve the bulletproof resiliency and elastic scalability CockroachDB delivers, data is replicated and geographically distributed across nodes of a cluster, and read and write requests are automatically routed between nodes as appropriate.
The Ethical Cloud: How to evaluate the true cost of your cloud platform

Aug 8, 2023 | cockroachlabs.com | Charlotte Dillon

Cloud services abstract away a lot of complexities involved in data center provisioning. Usually, we think of this as a good thing. It’s a huge boon to developer productivity, lowers overhead costs, and allows individual developers and small companies to experiment and grow like never before. But as Rob Reid spoke about at ESCAPE/19, this abstraction obfuscates some darker elements of data center provisioning.
