In this blog post, we dive into the significance and benefits of RAG applications first. Then we explore the advantages of leveraging CockroachDB, a highly scalable and resilient distributed SQL database, as the foundation for building efficient and robust RAG applications. To illustrate the practical implementation, I’ve created a knowledge base chatbot.

Through an Ory Enterprise License, OpenAI gained access to advanced authorization capabilities, along with the ability to self-host, fine-tune configurations, and maintain full control of its CIAM stack. Together with CockroachDB’s fault-tolerant, globally replicated database, the solution offers a modern IAM foundation that evolves with OpenAI’s pace of development — supporting security, compliance, and seamless user experiences at scale.

In today’s always-on, global applications, raw speed is no longer enough. Modern enterprises demand not only blistering transaction rates but also unwavering stability when the unexpected strikes; whether that’s a network hiccup, a failing disk, or an entire data center going dark. With organizations averaging 86 outages a year, failures are the norm today. But traditional benchmarks like TPC-C only tell you how fast a database runs in perfect conditions, or sunny days. They leave out the more important story of what happens when things go wrong.

Today, distributed SQL databases are redefining what’s possible for modern, global businesses. Recently, Peter Mattis, co-founder, CTO, and CPO of Cockroach Labs, and technical evangelist, Rob Reid, hosted a webinar called “The Magic of Distributed SQL: Zero Downtime & Infinite Scale.” Below, we recap the key ideas from the session and how they tie to the future of data infrastructure.

Change data capture (CDC) is one of those data infrastructure patterns that quietly supports everything else. Event-driven microservices, real-time analytics, incremental ELT pipelines, operational alerting — they all depend on the same thing: a reliable stream of changes coming out of your transactional database.

Payment systems are hitting a breaking point: Legacy infrastructure is now buckling under modern demands for speed, scale, and security. The enterprises that successfully modernize first will have a competitive advantage.

Information today is generated and consumed in unprecedented magnitudes. With every click, swipe, and transaction, massive amounts of data are collected, waiting to be harnessed for insights, decision-making, and innovation. Today, more than 80% of the data that organizations generate is unstructured – and the amount of this data type will only grow in the coming decades.

A few months ago Cockroach Labs turned 10, and this release celebrates 10 years of continuous distributed SQL innovation. We’re introducing even more performance and scalability improvements and AI vector indexing, along with many other new features and enhancements to both self-hosted and cloud offerings in the areas of change data capture (CDC), security, observability, and migrations.
