The Database That Survives Anything — Inside Cockroach Labs

Moshe Levis Season 1 Episode 11

In this episode, we go deep with Cockroach Labs — the New York-based startup founded by ex-Google engineers who set out to build the ‘database that survives anything’. Their flagship, CockroachDB, is a distributed SQL engine built for the internet’s scale: global deployment, zero downtime, and seamless growth. We’ll unpack how Cockroach Labs bridges the gap between SQL familiarity and NoSQL scalability, why mission-critical applications need this kind of infrastructure in 2025, and what it takes to lead the database revolution behind the scenes of the world’s biggest apps.
