Case Study: Squarespace achieves global scale and high availability with Cockroach Labs CockroachDB

Squarespace achieves 100 cutovers with Cockroach Labs for global scale

Squarespace, a platform that helps entrepreneurs build online businesses, faced scaling limitations with their on-premise PostgreSQL databases as they expanded globally. They needed a solution that could provide horizontal scale, always-on availability, and multi-region deployment without extensive downtime for maintenance. They partnered with Cockroach Labs to migrate to CockroachDB.

Cockroach Labs provided a distributed SQL solution that enabled Squarespace to perform a near-zero-downtime migration of 100 production clusters. The solution delivered built-in horizontal scaling, improved global performance with latency under 10ms, and automated high availability. As a result, Squarespace now achieves seamless online upgrades and can handle workload spikes across multiple regions, providing a more reliable and performant experience for their millions of global users.
