Cockroach is Growing in Namma Bengaluru
- Cockroach Labs, a software company that creates cloud-native SQL databases, has cemented roots in India with a growing team of over 55 engineers and specialists in database and cloud engineering. The company has found Bengaluru to be the ideal hub for scaling operations across the Asia-Pacific region. Bengaluru provides unparalleled time-zone advantages and access to a rich talent pool. India’s greater digitisation has made it the ideal location for the company; the demands of Indian enterprises, across sectors like banking, media, and logistics, align perfectly with CockroachDB’s strengths in handling scale and regulatory requirements.
- Cockroach Labs' founders spent a decade at Google, working on pioneering projects like Gmail, Google Reader, and Colossus – Google’s distributed storage system. Whereas, the absence of a transactional distributed database in their startup, Viewfinder, forced them to use DynamoDB, leading to inefficiencies and workarounds. This frustration led to the birth of Cockroach Labs in 2014, with a vision to create an open-source, cloud-native distributed database.
- CockroachDB has built its reputation on resilience. Unlike competitors such as MySQL Cluster and MariaDB Xpand, CockroachDB’s architecture allows businesses to handle elasticity, resilience, and cross-cloud data sovereignty without compromise. This adaptability made Cockroach Labs the operational backbone for global giants like Netflix and ambitious startups like Fi.
- Cockroach Labs has ambitious plans to expand its R&D hub to tackle the hardest technical challenges in database engineering. Teams are working on innovations like vector data integration for AI in order to enable operational databases to evolve into systems capable of real-time intelligence.
- As AI reshapes the industry, Cockroach Labs is investing heavily in AI-specific features. The company is working on supporting vector similarity searches and operationalising AI workflows.
- Cockroach Labs is more than just a database; the company is a partner in tackling scalability challenges over the decades of growth. They are providing a seamless pathway for businesses to scale effectively. The company has ambitious plans to make remarkable impact in the years ahead.
