Overview
Cockroach Continuum is the agentic database cloud from Cockroach Labs: fully managed CockroachDB, the cloud-native, distributed SQL database helping companies of all sizes, and the apps they develop, scale fast, survive disaster, and thrive everywhere.
Cockroach Continuum on AWS lets you run production databases without the operational headache. The secure, fully managed platform virtually eliminates manual database operations, so you can reallocate technical talent to feature development that fuels growth instead of risky technical debt. Subscribing through AWS Marketplace consolidates your database spend into your AWS bill and lets you apply your AWS commitments.
We offer fully managed editions:
- Cockroach Continuum Standard: Runs on shared infrastructure in a single region or multi-region cloud, with provisioned compute and usage-based storage: your bill tracks the data you actually store, with nothing to size or resize. Backed by a 99.99% availability SLA. Ideal for consolidating production workloads with predictable compute costs.
- Cockroach Continuum Mission Critical: Runs on infrastructure dedicated solely to your organization, in a single region or multi-region cloud. Backed by a 99.99 availability SLA for single-region and 99.999% for multi-region deployments, with 30-minute P1 support response. Includes advanced security controls: customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK), egress perimeter controls, and private connectivity including AWS PrivateLink. With the Cluster Virtualization add-on, run many isolated virtual clusters on a single host: ideal for platform teams managing fleets of databases.
Add-ons such as Data Sync (change data capture to your downstream systems) and Data Replication are metered only while in use: no separate purchase or enablement required.
This listing offers annual contracts purchased as CockroachDB Continuum Credits, which draw down against your actual consumption.
Highlights
- Always-on experiences: Never disrupt customer experiences when nodes, availability zones, and even AWS regions fail -- CockroachDB will continue to serve queries while others are down.
- Scale effortlessly: Reduce deployment time and database infrastructure management with the combined power of CockroachDB on AWS with elastic scalability, Postgres -compatible SQL, ACID transactions, and more while taking advantage of AWS' breadth of features.
- Expand easily: Reach new heights with CockroachDB on AWS with a single, unified database across multiple regions, allowing low latency times and infrastructure and architecture to support current and future data regulations.

Dimensions summary
This listing bills through a single dimension: Cockroach Credits. You pay only for what you use, with no upfront commitment. Usage is metered by the minute and billed monthly in arrears. Each credit is worth one dollar and draws down as you consume resources. Your charges reflect the compute you provision, the storage you hold, backups, and any add-ons you turn on. Because pricing is usage-based, costs rise and fall as you scale clusters up or down. Idle clusters still incur charges based on what you provision and store, not on query volume.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each Cockroach Credit is worth one dollar. Your metered usage draws down from your credit balance. Compute is billed per vCPU-hour on the vCPUs your cluster runs. Storage, backups, data transfer, and any enabled add-ons also consume credits. Usage is metered by the minute and totaled monthly.
Briefly, yes. Managed backups are kept for their retention period after the cluster is deleted. You continue drawing down credits for that backup storage until the backups expire. To reduce ongoing charges, tune backup retention and frequency before deletion.
Both bill at the same time and both draw from your credit balance. Compute, metered per vCPU-hour, usually drives the larger share for active clusters. Storage follows the data you hold, so it dominates for large, low-activity datasets. Add-ons like change data capture bill per vCPU-hour only while enabled.

Reliable, Scalable, and Developer-Friendly Database
Reviewed on Sep 14, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about CockroachDB is how it feels both powerful and simple at the same time. It’s built to scale automatically, so you don’t need to stress about servers going down or handling huge amounts of data—it just works and keeps your app running smoothly. The best part is that it uses SQL, which most developers are already familiar with, so you get the benefits of a modern, distributed database without a steep learning curve. It’s reliable, resilient, and developer-friendly, which makes it a strong choice for building apps that need to grow and stay online no matter what.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about CockroachDB is that while it’s powerful, it can sometimes feel a bit complex to configure and optimize, especially for beginners. The learning curve around understanding how data is distributed and how to get the best performance can take some time. Also, certain advanced features aren’t always as mature or as widely supported as in more traditional databases, which might cause a few limitations depending on the use case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CockroachDB is solving the problem of scaling databases without sacrificing reliability. Traditional databases often struggle when handling large amounts of data or when you need high availability across different regions, but CockroachDB handles this automatically by distributing data and workloads. For me, the benefit is peace of mind—knowing that if a server goes down, the database keeps running with no downtime. It also saves a lot of time and effort since I don’t have to manually manage replication or failover, which makes building and maintaining applications much easier and more efficient.

What do you like best about the product?
CockroachDB makes it super easy to run a distributed SQL database without worrying about the complexity of managing replication, failover, or scaling. I like that it feels like using PostgreSQL, but under the hood, it’s handling things like automatic sharding and strong consistency across nodes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be a bit steep when you’re first trying to understand how it handles transactions and consistency compared to traditional databases. Some advanced features still feel less mature compared to Postgres, and debugging distributed queries can be tricky at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CockroachDB helps us get rid of the single point of failure that comes with traditional relational databases. We don’t have to stress about setting up complex replication or failover strategies—the database just handles it automatically. It’s been especially useful for workloads that need high availability and consistency across regions.

What do you like best about the product?
CockroachDB is a SQL database that can handle large amounts of data and keeps running even if problems happen.
Its main pros is that it keeps your data safe and available in different locations, which is useful for apps with users in many places.

What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not completely simple to use, though. You need to think about how your data is organized and be ready for some steps if you have many users writing at the same time. For small projects in one location, For simpler setups, a regular Postgres database work better.
Although, CockroachDB is a good choice for teams who want a reliable database that can grow as their business grows.

What do you like best about the product?
Really good and simple to understand documentation. Easy to work with, supports SQL. Scales horizontally. Low Latency
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing fee was a bit pricy. Needed only when the scale you need is really much. Otherwise, directly using Postgres should be enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved distributed SQL problem. I can run database transaction operations without worrying about the scale of my database and worrying whether I need to shard my database later or not. Low latency comparable with other similar systems.
