The Menlo Park and London debuts of Cockroach Labs’ RoachFest '24 couldn’t have gone better. We had a full house for both events – with a fun and highly informative time had by all.
Couldn’t make it to CA or the UK in person? We’ll have you covered in the weeks to come as we debut RoachFest presentation videos from CockroachDB customers. Here we’re starting with the eye-opening show from Route, the post-purchase experience solution trusted by over 13,000 brands.
“Route Enables Always-On Data for Over 1 Billion Orders and Counting with CockroachDB” 
Route got off to a fast start showcasing their CockroachDB journey, paced by an engaging presentation from Bryan Call, Route’s Senior Principal Engineer.
Call’s dynamic presentation immediately captured the audience’s attention. An avid runner, Call put a personal spin on his narrative describing Route’s extensive experience with CockroachDB. Drawing an intriguing parallel between distance running and managing data, Call explained how Route has relied on CockroachDB from early on to handle its essential order and shipment data efficiently.
The Menlo Park audience was drawn in as Call vividly described the challenges of dealing with storage failures in traditional SQL databases compared to CockroachDB. He emphasized that CockroachDB:
guarantees no data loss
ensures zero downtime
significantly reduces stress during storage failure incidents
Call also walked the audience through the advantages of running and scaling self-hosted CockroachDB on AWS to handle peak demands – which not only boosts revenue for merchants but also enhances customer satisfaction.
Watch the video to see how CockroachDB’s always-on performance and ease of use contribute to Route’s success.
