Beyond the Roadmap and Into the Future of CockroachDB
summary
Roadmap promises become concrete: a plan to Bring Your Own Cloud deployment plus disaggregated storage and compute, auto-scaling clusters and database virtualization that aim to cut total cost of ownership by 2x by end of fiscal 2026. An AI-powered migration tooling demo converts schema, 37 functions and migrates 1.9M rows across eight tables, runs AI-generated tests, fixes Postgres/Cockroach null-array mismatches and verifies row-for-row parity. The platform goes agent-ready with policy-driven autonomous ops and elastic virtual clusters.
