Cockroach Continuum work follows four stages: onboard data and build an application, scale it in production, monitor and optimize it, and integrate it with the rest of your ecosystem. This page walks through the path from a new organization to a production deployment, and where to go at each stage.

Before you begin

You need a Cockroach Continuum organization, a running cluster, and a verified connection. If you are starting fresh, work through the tutorial, which walks you through creating a Continuum organization, creating a cluster, connecting to it, and running your first queries. The rest of this page shows where to go at each stage of your Continuum work.

Onboard data and build applications

Bring an existing database to CockroachDB with the , which guides you through schema conversion, data load, and verification. To build an application, refer to for connections, transactions, and server-side logic.

Scale production workloads

clusters across your environments. sizes and scales storage with your workload. To build AI features, refer to . For performance work, refer to , and for backups and replication, refer to .

Monitor and optimize performance

monitors your clusters and records findings and recommendations for you to review. To isolate and prioritize workloads on shared capacity, refer to .
