Keep your data under control with row-level security, now GA.

In large scale organizations in industries such as healthcare and finance, keeping sensitive data is imperative.

CockroachDB has historically provided robust mechanisms for managing roles and privileges to restrict access to specific tables. And now, we’re taking it to the row-level.

Control access to individual tables or specific rows at user or role levels, keep sensitive data protected, and do so with ease in CockroachDB 25.2.

Here’s a demo from our Technical Evangelist Rob Reid.

Row-Level Security allows users of CockroachDB to grant data access to users at the row level.In this video, our Technical Evangelist, Rob Reid, shows you ho...

🏁 In our latest release, CockroachDB gets a major speed boost. Here’s are a few ways we made it possible: https://cockroa.ch/45cbB7A

✔️ Buffered writes (Now in preview): A brand new, under-the-covers method for improving performance. This works by bundling up database writes more efficiently to increase throughput and decrease latency, while also reducing hardware requirements.

✔️ Generic Query Plans (Now Generally Available): Optimize query ex*****on by reusing precompiled query plans, significantly reducing the CPU overhead associated with parsing and planning repeated queries.

Beyond day to day speed boosts enabled by these two features, we also made major improvements to the database restore capabilities, meaning customers can now experience an increase in up to 4x the speed when restoring from backup for certain use cases

In CockroachDB 25.2, we are excited to introduce Vector Indexing support - an innovative way to speed up vector search without compromising distributed resilience and scalability. Now in Preview.

We based this on a protocol we’re calling Cockroach-SPANN (or C-SPANN). C-SPANN is based on Microsoft’s SPANN and SPFRESH research papers which, along with RaBitQ, deliver an indexing method that is small, fully distributed, and easy to update without degrading index quality.

We are excited to combine the strengths of a vector database and an operational database onto a single, horizontally scalable and performant solution so your organization can build applications at scale.

Want to see how this works? Watch this demo from our Technical Evangelist Rob Reid to see his Anomaly Detection application built using vector indexing in action.

In CockroachDB 24.2 ,we released pgvector support for the vector datatype, which was a good way for customers to begin experimenting with advanced LLM applic...

Join David Joy, our senior architect at Cockroach Labs as he showcases how to build AI-enabled applications using CockroachDB and AWS Bedrock.

Our demo application centers around a banking app that stores transactional data in CockroachDB. To enhance the app, a banking assistant is integrated, functioning as an “answer engine” that allows users to ask natural language questions about their finances, such as “How much did I spend at X store?”

So tune in and get ready to learn the powerful potential of combining distributed SQL databases with LLMs to create smarter, more interactive applications.
