How Cockroach Labs and AWS Are Powering Database Modernisation in BFSI | Tejas Baldev, Director- APAC Business

Tejas Baldev, Director – APAC Business at Cockroach Labs, shares how the company is helping financial services organizations modernize legacy database architectures using AWS as a strategic cloud partner. With deep focus on BFSI customers across India, Singapore, Vietnam, and ANZ, Cockroach Labs works closely with AWS under a strategic collaboration agreement to support large-scale modernization and migration initiatives.

CockroachDB is designed for cloud-native environments and integrates seamlessly with the AWS ecosystem, leveraging core services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon MSK, Graviton instances, and native integration with Amazon Redshift. This enables financial institutions to run highly resilient, distributed transactional workloads alongside analytics—delivering the consistency, availability, and scalability that mission-critical BFSI systems demand.

By combining Cockroach Labs’ distributed SQL architecture with AWS’s global cloud infrastructure, financial services enterprises are moving away from legacy platforms toward modern, cloud-native database foundations—unlocking real value from their modernization journeys.
