Enriched Changefeeds: Debezium Simplicity, CockroachDB Resilience
Change data capture (CDC) is one of those data infrastructure patterns that quietly supports everything else. Event-driven microservices, real-time analytics, incremental ELT pipelines, operational alerting — they all depend on the same thing: a reliable stream of changes coming out of your transactional database.

MOLT Verify: Ensuring Data Integrity in Database Migrations
Database migrations are complex, and ensuring the migrated data is 100% correct is critical. After all, a migration isn’t over until you feel confident and comfortable cutting over to the new infrastructure. To streamline migrations, Cockroach Labs created the MOLT (Migrate Off Legacy Technology) suite, which includes three tools that improve different parts of the user journey.

Accelerate Data Migrations with MOLT Schema Conversion Tool
Database migration is a critical yet often daunting task for many enterprises that operate on legacy systems like Oracle, MySQL, or SQL Server. As these organizations strive to modernize their infrastructure and scale operations, transitioning to a distributed SQL database like CockroachDB presents a compelling opportunity – offering the consistency and familiar SQL structure of traditional databases while delivering the scalability, resilience, and performance first pioneered in NoSQL databases.
