As AI-driven and agentic applications push data platforms into new territory, data architects are increasingly forced to choose between correctness, simplicity, and scale. Today, we’re removing that tradeoff — announcing support for 300-node clusters with 2.2M tpmC and 1.2PB of data in CockroachDB v25.4.4 and beyond. On CockroachDB Cloud, we’re announcing support for 64 vCPU per node. Testing to this scale is important to ensure that we’re testing ahead of customer deployments, and this milestone does just that. We believe these tests represent the largest node-scale testing completed by any distributed SQL vendor. And we’re just getting started.

Enterprise security is a key factor in reducing cost-of-ownership and getting new solutions into production efficiently. With CockroachDB v26.1, available as of February 3rd in CockroachDB Cloud and February 18th for CockroachDB self-hosted, we are introducing security improvements that help organizations integrate CockroachDB more seamlessly with their existing security infrastructure.

Agentic AI systems represent a big shift for artificial intelligence: from stateless inference to autonomous, long-running software agents that plan, reason, act, observe outcomes, and adapt over time. These agents operate continuously, coordinate with other agents and tools, and maintain evolving state across complex workflows.

What is application modernization? That’s officially an FAQ on the Internet. Here at Cockroach Labs, what people frequently ask us is a little more specific: What does Application Modernization have to do with databases?
