Databases and platform freedom
CockroachDB is architected to give you the freedom to deploy your database anywhere: Any private or public cloud, across multiple clouds, using our innovative [Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/product/cloud/bring-your-own-cloud/) offering, on premises, self-hosted, or in a hybrid deployment encompassing some or all of these. Use the best solution for your workloads without cloud provider or deployment model lock-in.
Freedom from lock-in
Make smart use of your existing resources with CockroachDB’s hybrid-cloud capabilities. AWS Aurora won’t let you deploy in a hybrid environment
Freedom of choice
Pick any (or multiple) providers and run self-deployed or as-a-service. Because no one should have to be locked into a single provider
Freedom to grow
Effortlessly scale and take control of your workloads. Avoid the significant egress costs often seen when moving data with AWS Aurora
