The company offers both self-hosted and managed cloud versions of CockroachDB, including CockroachDB Serverless and CockroachDB Dedicated. It has raised significant venture capital from major investors and is widely recognized in the database and cloud infrastructure ecosystem for pioneering distributed SQL technology that combines the reliability of traditional relational databases with modern cloud-native scalability.
