Have you ever wondered how CockroachDB prevents your database from collapsing under load? Admission control is the system in CockroachDB that prioritizes work during different types of node overload. When individual nodes detect an excessive amount of work, the admission control system prioritizes work into different queues, ensuring that critical operations continue to run unimpeded while lower priority work is throttled. For a technical deep dive into how admission control works, take a look at our blog below.

And that’s a wrap for #RoachFest24 in London. Here are a few highlights from the event: - Migration stories: Gartner once compared database migrations to a heart transplant. It’s a daunting procedure that can directly impact the center of your IT infrastructure. But as we learned from our customers, the benefits that come after a migration are immense, and CockroachDB's tooling is significantly speeding up the process. For Riskified and Happening by Superbet, migrating from their respective Postgres and on-premise NoSQL databases to CockroachDB allowed them to rapidly expand their businesses without any bottlenecks. - A roadmap for digital transformation- Beyond migration success stories, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and mLogica equipped attendees with the necessary knowledge for modernizing mission-critical applications in today's cloud-native landscape through real-world insights, best practices, and more. - CockroachDB for Financial Services: Building an application for financial services requires some of the most stringent database requirements when it comes to resiliency, scale, data consistency, and data locality. At #RoachFest24, attendees heard from customers and the Cockroach Labs team about the #finserv modernization journey and how databases like #CockroachDB can support today’s most demanding Financial Services Applications. - Operational Efficiency: We also learned how Rightmove reduced the overhead of their architecture, future-proofed the capabilities of their technology platforms, and created a culture of innovation and business agility. In addition, our product team highlighted the latest innovations in CockroachDB that will allow customers to streamline application development, improve resiliency, and dramatically simplify database operations. We may be winding down the first wave of RoachFest, but we’re looking forward to our next event in New York City on September 26th.
