Enabling modern IAM for OpenAI with CockroachDB and Ory
Blog post from Cockroach Labs
When a product experiences exponential growth, like ChatGPT, its infrastructure must scale at an equally fast pace. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, partnered with Cockroach Labs to build a modern customer identity and access management (CIAM) stack using Ory and CockroachDB. This solution enables unmatched developer agility and infrastructure confidence, allowing OpenAI to support over 400 million weekly active users while maintaining security, scalability, and global availability. The combination of Ory and CockroachDB provides an elastically scalable and resilient infrastructure with native geo-partitioning capabilities, ACID compliance, and operational simplicity, empowering developers to build secure, scalable, and globally distributed applications without sacrificing customer experience or security.
