Cockroach Labs

Last week, hundreds of attendees joined us in our hometown of New York City for the final RoachFest of 2024. Following successful deployments in Menlo Park and London in June, our packed NYC gathering on the waterfront was the optimal outro for RoachFest24. Read on for a recap of an unforgettable day of learning, connecting, and unveiling what's next for CockroachDB.

On October 10th, join us in Denver for dinner and discussions. Get more info and RSVP at https://cockroa.ch/3Y9juXm Join us and learn: - How to provide constant availability, local latencies, and seamless experiences all while meeting regulatory requirements. - How to prepare for future market changes that will drive complexity and scale in tier 0 applications, from high volume payments applications to order processing. - How to unlock greater resiliency that can save brand reputation, drive operational efficiency, and maximize revenue.

What if you could lower query latency and ownership costs without sacrificing resiliency? Organizations with complex and CPU-intensive queries often grapple with high latency, difficulty in meeting performance goals, and higher hardware costs. But as of CockroachDB 24.2, you can now take advantage of Generic Query Plans (now in preview) to unlock truly cost-efficient query processing. Generic Query Plans are fully optimized once and cached, eliminating the need to re-optimize on future executions. For workloads with complex JOINs and/or index lookups, organizations can expect reduced CPU usage and overall computational burden, bringing significant savings and increased efficiency.

Building advanced AI-driven applications? CockroachDB is ready for your workloads: https://cockroa.ch/47MIeId When it comes to adding AI functionality including semantic search, recommendation systems, or natural language systems to your application, Vector Search is an essential component. That’s why as of CockroachDB 24.2, we are thrilled to introduce Vector Search with pgvector. Vector Search will enable the ability to build AI functionality into applications using ‘pgvector’-compatible semantics. This is drop-in compatible, and will provide an easy way to access tools such as LangChain and Hugging Face. It will combine the strengths of a vector database and an operational database into a single, resilient, and scalable solution. And it will allow organizations to future-proof their database investment and build next-generation applications along the way. Need an introduction to Vector Search and to see how you can get started? Take a look at our blog linked above or our video by Technical Evangelist Rob Reid below.
