Distributed SQL database with PostgreSQL compatibility and multi-region resilience for always-on, low-latency transactional workloads on AWS.
Overview
CockroachDB PostgreSQL for IBM is a distributed SQL database delivered and supported by IBM under an OEM agreement with Cockroach Labs. It pairs PostgreSQL wire-protocol compatibility with a distributed, shared-nothing architecture that keeps applications online through node, Availability Zone, and Region failures. Built for always-on transactional workloads, it provides strong (serializable) consistency, automatic replication and rebalancing, online schema changes, and change data capture. Applications connect using standard PostgreSQL drivers, ORMs, and SQL. On AWS, it runs as customer-managed software on Amazon EC2 and Amazon EKS, with clusters that can span multiple AWS Availability Zones and AWS Regions for resilience and data locality. Backup and restore integrate with Amazon S3, and change data capture can stream to Amazon MSK and Amazon S3. The same software also runs on Linux for IBM Z (s390x) and IBM LinuxONE for consistent deployment across cloud and on-premises.
Key capabilities:
- Serializable ACID transactions with PostgreSQL compatibility
- Multi-region survivability with configurable zone- and region-failure survival goals
- Horizontal scale-out by adding nodes, with automatic rebalancing
- Data domiciling and geo-partitioning for GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA
- Online schema changes and rolling upgrades with no downtime
- Change data capture and vector similarity search
Q: Does CockroachDB PostgreSQL for IBM run on Amazon EKS?
A: Yes. It deploys on Amazon EKS via the CockroachDB Kubernetes Operator and on Amazon EC2 for self-managed clusters.
Q: Is it compatible with PostgreSQL?
A: Yes. It uses the PostgreSQL wire protocol, so existing PostgreSQL drivers, ORMs, and tooling connect without rewrites - easing Oracle and PostgreSQL migrations.
Q: How does it survive an AWS Availability Zone or Region outage?
A: Data is automatically replicated across nodes; clusters spanning multiple AWS AZs or Regions keep serving reads and writes during a zone or region outage, with no manual failover.
Q: How is it purchased through AWS Marketplace?
A: Via a private offer using contract-based (subscription) pricing, billed in Virtual Processor Core (VPC) units, and counting toward your AWS spend commitment.
Q: Where can backups be stored?
A: Backup and restore integrate natively with Amazon S3.
Combined with AWS, customers consolidate licensing and billing on AWS Marketplace, draw down AWS committed spend, and run a resilient distributed database across AWS Regions - with the option to extend the same platform to IBM Z and LinuxONE.
Highlights
- Survives Amazon EC2 node, Availability Zone, and Region failures through automatic replication and self-healing - no manual failover - for near-zero RTO on tier-0 workloads.
- PostgreSQL wire-compatible: migrate from Oracle or PostgreSQL using existing drivers, ORMs, and SQL, and deploy on Amazon EKS or Amazon EC2.
- Scales horizontally by adding nodes with automatic rebalancing, and spans multiple AWS Regions for data residency under GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
