The company Cockroach Labs, a pioneer in distributed SQL cloud databases with CockroachDB, has announced a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate the modernization of Windows applications and monolithic legacy databases.
The agreement facilitates the migration of .NET applications by utilizing Amazon Q Developer, a tool powered by generative AI that optimizes code transformation, while leveraging CockroachDB’s advanced capabilities to provide scalability, resilience, and multi-region support on AWS’s global infrastructure.
Solution to .NET Application Modernization Challenges
Many companies seek to reduce costs and improve efficiency by modernizing their IT infrastructures but face challenges with .NET applications that rely on monolithic databases. These databases, designed with traditional architectures, present limitations on horizontal scalability, insufficient multi-region support, and high maintenance costs.
“We are excited to strengthen our relationship with AWS to simplify and minimize the risks in modernizing .NET applications and databases,” commented Allen Terleto, VP Global Partners and Ecosystem at Cockroach Labs.
Key Benefits of the Collaboration between Cockroach Labs and AWS
🔹 Transformation with Generative AI:
- Amazon Q Developer automates the modernization of .NET code, reducing the time and effort needed to update legacy applications.
🔹 Simplified Database Migration:
- CockroachDB provides a modern alternative to monolithic databases, offering resilience and seamless scalability.
- Compatibility with legacy RDBMS features facilitates the transition.
🔹 Optimization on AWS:
- CockroachDB is designed to run on Amazon EC2, Amazon EKS, and hybrid AWS Outposts, allowing companies to leverage AWS’s global infrastructure with high availability.
Success Story: Route Migrates to CockroachDB on AWS
An example of this modernization is the company Route, which was operating under a monolithic architecture and needed to ensure continuous availability for over 1 billion orders. The company migrated to CockroachDB on AWS, ensuring greater efficiency and performance for its critical operations.
A Step Forward in Cloud-Native Modernization
The collaboration between Cockroach Labs and AWS provides a comprehensive solution for companies to modernize their applications and legacy databases without disrupting operational continuity.
“By combining CockroachDB’s multi-region resilience with Amazon Q Developer’s AI-driven code transformation, we help developers create modern, scalable, and always-available applications,” stated Terleto.
With proven tools and robust infrastructure, organizations can accelerate their digital transformation and confidently adopt cloud-native architectures.
