Architecting Resilient Financial Systems with CockroachDB & AWS

Financial institutions face pressure to scale operations, process high transaction volumes, and maintain compliance while running legacy databases. Traditional relational databases struggle with scalability, downtime, and data localization.

This white paper explores how distributed SQL databases on cloud infrastructure can modernize financial systems. Key topics include:

• Legacy database limitations and associated risks
• Three resilience architecture patterns — multi-active, active-passive, and active-active — with tradeoffs
• Strategies for near-zero downtime and global regulatory compliance
