# CockroachDB

A distributed SQL database that is PostgreSQL compatible, sold to developers and enterprises for building always-on, globally scalable applications.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → dependency to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** The anchor (Vercel) builds and deploys web applications and AI workloads that require a resilient, scalable database; CockroachDB provides the distributed SQL layer those applications depend on for always-on data, and a buyer using Vercel would add CockroachDB to their stack alongside it.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> CockroachDB is a cloud-agnostic, PostgreSQL compatible database built for modern applications

> Survive regional failures with zero data loss, automated failover, and strong consistency

> Scale seamlessly. Eliminate manual sharding and scale effortlessly with consistent performance
