RoachFest 2025 is an annual database conference hosted by Cockroach Labs, honoring stories of engineering under pressure and providing space for enthusiasts and experts to share their experiences. The event will focus on "Performance Under Adversity," exploring the real-world kind that defines the difference between being just available and truly resilient. The conference will feature customer stories, hands-on workshops, and expert-led sessions covering topics such as operational resilience, real-world lessons at scale, and why a distributed SQL conference should matter to everyone. With a focus on shared learning, getting candid and technical with experts, and building systems that can handle anything the world throws at them, RoachFest is your gateway to the future of distributed SQL databases.
