Cockroach Labs has announced the general availability of CockroachDB serverless, a scalable and highly available relational database designed to handle provisioning, capacity, availability, scale, and maintenance automatically. The database aims to bridge the gap between the demands of modern cloud applications and the limitations of traditional databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL. CockroachDB serverless offers advanced features such as change data capture, automated backups, and a 99.99% uptime SLA, alongside a consumption-based pricing model. Additionally, Cockroach Labs has introduced CockroachDB MOLT, a new toolset to facilitate migration from legacy databases, and announced integrations with popular platforms like Vercel and HashiCorp Terraform to enhance development and operational workflows. The initiative reflects an ongoing commitment to simplifying database management and empowering developers to build applications efficiently without the operational burdens associated with traditional databases.
