The collaboration simplifies .NET application modernization with generative AI-powered Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities and uses Cockroach Labs' tools to accelerate database migration to CockroachDB, a resilient, scalable database optimized for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and hybrid AWS Outposts deployments. Enterprises are increasingly pursuing cost-efficiency by modernizing their IT infrastructure, yet many face significant hurdles with .NET applications running on outdated systems. These applications often depend on monolithic legacy databases, which, due to historical constraints, are poorly suited for the cloud due to limited horizontal scalability, a lack of multi-region support, and high-maintenance costs making it challenging to fully capitalize on the cloud's distributed architecture and cost-saving potential. "We're thrilled to deepen our relationship with AWS to streamline and reduce the risks associated with .NET application and database modernization," said Allen Terleto, VP Global Partners and Ecosystem, at Cockroach Labs. "Using Amazon Q Developer, we aim to empower developers to create resilient, scalable applications that harness the full potential of distributed architecture across AWS's global infrastructure. By leveraging CockroachDB's multi-region resilience, seamless horizontal scalability, and compatibility with legacy RDBMS features, this collaboration equips developers with the necessary tools to accelerate the transition to modern, always-on, and high-performance cloud-native applications." Cockroach Labs customers, like Route , recognize the critical need for a distributed cloud database to support their mission-critical workloads. To modernize their monolithic architecture and ensure always-on data availability for over 1 billion orders, Route migrated to CockroachDB on AWS. By combining their strengths, Cockroach Labs and AWS offer a comprehensive solution for enterprises looking to modernize their legacy applications and fully embrace cloud-native architectures. With proven success stories and new robust tools at their disposal, organizations can accelerate their modernization journey, supported by CockroachDB's resilience and Amazon Q Developer's AI-driven transformation capabilities.
