Best General Purpose Database | How Nightfall uses CockroachDB

Description

Dan Hertz, Platform Manager at Nightfall.ai, discusses how Nightfall uses CockroachDB in this presentation from RoachFest '22. Dan talks about adopting CockroachDB to replace all of Nightfall's single-purpose data stores. Nightfall is a cloud DLP for screening stored data wherever it lives to see if there's anything sensitive inside like API keys, social security numbers, or medical information. Having CockroachDB as a single data store has helped Nightfall as an organization because Dan's team can now simplify architecture discussions, support each other on call / help out with each other's services, and onboard new engineers a lot more quickly.
