On March 25, 2025, Cockroach Labs hosted one of our Use Case Cafés, a lunch and learn that focuses on a key use case. This particular event highlighted the intersection of FinTech and modern payment systems. The event provided valuable insights into the role of CockroachDB in transforming payment systems to meet the needs of today’s fast-paced financial environment. Shannon Dew, Principal Sales Engineer at Cockroach Labs, and Scott Traver, Senior Software Architect at Spreedly, offered their expertise on why modernizing data infrastructure is critical to those handling payments, and how CockroachDB helped Spreedly tackle their journey to the cloud.

In the world of finance, changing databases is usually pretty rare. When you’re in charge of other people’s money — several trillion dollars of it, in the case of one of the banks discussed in this article — even small changes could represent major risks. That’s why even today, many banks still run systems based on legacy relational databases such as Oracle, IBM, and PostgreSQL — often the same databases they were using 10 or even 20 years ago.

This year, we were so grateful to the Netflix team for hitting the stage again after their tremendous premiere in 2022. Four years into their adoption of CockroachDB, Netflix’s team shared many learnings about the best optimizations and configurations that help their clients, internal Netflix developers, meet their goals. The pioneering streaming service has developed a mature platform providing databases-as-a-service to hundreds of Netflix developers and continues building out even more efficient strategies.
