In addition, Cockroach University launches to teach users how to get the most out of CockroachDB
NEW YORK, November 12, 2019 — Cockroach Labs, the company behind CockroachDB, today announced the release of CockroachDB 19.2, the latest version of the cloud-native, distributed SQL database that is uniquely designed to help enterprises address latencies and optimize performance in geo-distributed settings.
“We created CockroachDB 19.2 to meet the critical business needs of enterprises that are geographically dispersed and whose transactional workloads demand shorter latencies and improved performance,” said Co-Founder and CEO of Cockroach Labs, Spencer Kimball. “Cockroach Labs is dedicated to giving enterprises a competitive edge so they can focus on what they do best, their business.”

Enterprises are under pressure to get consistent performance, regardless of where the request originates. These challenges are often exasperated by faulty data integrity.
CockroachDB 19.2 extends the capabilities of Cockroach Labs’ first and industry-leading cloud-native database to address these difficult, geo-distributed latency challenges, all the while maintaining strict data correctness. New capabilities include:

Cockroach Labs also announced the launch of Cockroach University to teach users how to take full advantage of CockroachDB. Cockroach University is for developers and architects who want to gain a fundamental understanding of distributed databases and deep knowledge of CockroachDB’s functionality and architecture. The first course, “Getting Started with CockroachDB,” will teach users about the key characteristics of a distributed SQL database, then walk them through how to spin up a CockroachDB instance, run basic queries, and test out CockroachDB’s unique capabilities. The course is divided into three chapters with lessons, tutorials, and quizzes.
Additional courses including “CockroachDB Developer Fundamentals,” and courses on architecting, administering, and building apps that can fully leverage with CockroachDB will be announced in the coming months. For additional information or to register visit university.cockroachlabs.com.
