Blueprint

Cockroachlabs Multi-Region Compliance Build (10-14 days)

A delivery sprint that architects and deploys a CockroachDB cluster for clients needing multi-region resilience, data residency, and compliance, packaged as a fixed-fee agency offer.

Prerequisites
  • CockroachDB Cloud account with $400 in free credits
  • Client's existing PostgreSQL schema and data export
  • Access to client's AWS or GCP account for cluster deployment
  • Defined compliance requirements (e.g., DORA, HIPAA) and target regions
  • Internal team familiarity with CockroachDB's MOLT migration tools
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Provision a test CockroachDB Basic cluster on AWS or GCP, configure IP allowlist access control
  • 2.Review client's PostgreSQL schema and identify compatibility issues with CockroachDB
  • 3.Document the target multi-region topology and compliance requirements
  • 1.Run MOLT migration dry-run on a sample dataset to validate schema and data types
  • 2.Set up change data capture (CDC) feeds to a staging sink for testing
  • 3.Configure automated backup schedules and basic monitoring alerts
  • 1.Deploy the production CockroachDB cluster (Standard or Advanced plan) across two or more regions
  • 2.Enable multi-region features and configure data residency constraints
  • 3.Migrate full PostgreSQL data using MOLT, with validation queries
  • 1.Enable automated failover and test regional failure simulation
  • 2.Configure vector search indexes for any AI-related workloads
  • 3.Integrate CockroachDB with client's application connection strings
  • 1.Set up role-based access control and audit logging for compliance
  • 2.Run load testing to verify horizontal scaling up to 200 vCPUs if needed
  • 3.Document operational runbooks for client's team
  • 1.Conduct a failover drill and verify zero data loss
  • 2.Optimize SQL queries for distributed execution
  • 3.Finalize compliance documentation and handover
$2,500 - $10,000 (client-facing fee), with infrastructure costs from $0 (Basic free tier) to $0.60/vCPU/hr on Advanced10-14 days
ROI Logic

Agency charges a fixed fee of $2,500 to $10,000 while infrastructure costs are passed through or marked up. On Advanced plan at $0.60/vCPU/hr, a 10-vCPU cluster costs $432/month, allowing a 50% margin on a $1,000/month managed retainer.

Deliverables
  • Deployed CockroachDB cluster with multi-region configuration
  • Migration report from PostgreSQL using MOLT, including validation results
  • Compliance documentation mapping DORA/HIPAA requirements to cluster settings
  • Operational runbook with failover procedures and monitoring alerts
  • Vector search integration guide for AI features
Definition of Done

Client's production workloads run on CockroachDB with automated failover verified, compliance requirements met, and handover documentation accepted.
