Case Study: Booking.com simplifies order management with CockroachDB

Booking.com simplifies order management with Cockroach Labs across 3 regions and 20TB of data

Booking.com, a leading global online travel agency, faced significant challenges in managing its complex order management system. Their previous NoSQL database solution lacked proper ACID transaction support, forcing them to implement cumbersome workarounds that increased complexity and operational overhead. To support their "Connected Trip" initiative and simplify their architecture, they sought a new database solution and selected CockroachDB from Cockroach Labs.

Cockroach Labs provided a highly available, distributed SQL database that met Booking.com's requirements for strong consistency, change data capture, and secondary indexes. By migrating to the managed CockroachDB Cloud service, Booking.com simplified its application logic, eliminated the need for additional replication services, and achieved 99.999% availability for its critical order data. The solution handles 20TB of data across a multi-region cluster, providing a resilient and scalable foundation for downstream use cases.
