A database architected and built for Kubernetes
CockroachDB:
A distributed SQL database built for Kubernetes
CockroachDB is the only database architected and built from the ground up to deliver on the core distributed principles of atomicity, scale and survival so you can manage your database IN Kubernetes, not along the side of it.
Using StatefulSets, CockroachDB is a natural for deployment within a Kubernetes cluster. Simply attach storage however you like and CockroachDB handles distribution of data across nodes and will survive any failure.

Pod Failures
Scale
with ease
Deploy
with operator
No downtime upgrades, patches & schema changes
As a distributed database, CockroachDB allows you to roll software updates, patches, and schema modifications to each node, one at a time without service disruption. And with our Kubernetes Operator, we’ve made managing these changes even easier.
