Cockroach Labs Expands Ecosystem with ISV Partner Program to Deliver Resilient Solutions on Modern Enterprise Platforms

Initiative connects trusted technology partners with enterprise customers to accelerate innovation, resilience, and go-to-market success.

NEW YORK, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cockroach Labs, a pioneer in cloud-native distributed SQL databases, today announced the launch of its ISV Technology Partner Program – a major milestone in the development of the Cockroach Labs partner ecosystem. This initiative is designed specifically to support Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that build and deliver software solutions which run on or integrate with CockroachDB, enabling seamless innovation across a broad range of mission-critical use cases.

From cutting-edge identity and access management platforms to critical transactional systems such as payments, core banking, and more, the program enables ISV partners to develop robust, scalable solutions powered by the world's most resilient distributed SQL database.

Initial participants in the ISV Technology Partner Program include mission-critical application providers such as Ory (Identity and Access Management), Teleport (Secure Identity and Access Platform), AuthZed (Authorization Infrastructure), and PhaseTwo (Identity and Access Management). This inaugural cohort represents just a portion of the broader ecosystem we're continuing to build.

"This program marks a major milestone in our mission to build an ecosystem for our customers to comprehensively solve their core business challenges – through best-in-class solutions supported by CockroachDB," said Cassie Zimmerman, Senior Director of Partner Ecosystem at Cockroach Labs. "By collaborating with software vendors who share our commitment to uncompromising consistency, resilience, and global scale, we're empowering the next generation of enterprise and digital applications with the industry leader in distributed SQL databases."

The ISV Technology Partner Program provides tiered technical support and go-to-market (GTM) benefits, including:

• Co-marketing and co-selling initiatives
• Commercial incentives
• Dedicated technical support
• Solution certification

The ISV Partner Program reflects Cockroach Labs' growing focus on building a scalable ecosystem that supports both self-hosted and cloud-native platforms. Designed to meet software vendors where they are, the program helps partners bring enterprise-grade solutions to market faster — whether running alongside CockroachDB or building on CockroachDB Cloud. It formalizes a model that has already driven success across critical industry-leading customers and is especially relevant for ISVs developing modern solutions to mission critical challenges — where resilience, compliance, and global availability are non-negotiable.

"Today's identity demands go far beyond human users—they include services, APIs, and autonomous agents powered by AI," said Jeff Kukowski, CEO of Ory. "Our partnership with Cockroach Labs enables us to deliver secure, globally distributed IAM solutions with the resilience and scale required for the modern landscape. The ISV Partner Program provides the structure and alignment we need to deepen that collaboration, accelerate go-to-market efforts, and help customers build with confidence—no matter where or how they deploy."

The program introduces two available tracks for ISV Partners:

• Referral ISV Partners: For ISVs offering their solution as a self-hosted or deployment-agnostic service. Includes revenue-sharing, field enablement, joint pipeline development, co-marketing, and technical certification.
• Committed ISV Partners: For ISVs embedding CockroachDB into their SaaS platforms. Includes preferred pricing, enhanced customer support, and go-to-market investment.

"Cockroach Labs and Teleport together bring a powerful combination of resilience and security to modern infrastructure," said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport. "By integrating our Infrastructure Identity platform with CockroachDB's globally distributed SQL database, we're empowering engineering and infrastructure teams to secure data centers and cloud-native infrastructure with global fault-tolerance while reducing operational and engineering complexity."

Enterprises today are no longer just purchasing databases—they're investing in ecosystems of integrated solutions that work seamlessly together. With the ISV Technology Partner Program, Cockroach Labs is deepening its commitment to the platform providers shaping these ecosystems. By connecting customers with trusted technology partners, the program empowers organizations to innovate with confidence and achieve the scale and resilience demanded by modern enterprise applications.

The ISV Technology Partner Program was officially introduced at Roachfest London, featuring an inaugural cohort of integrated partners already delivering joint value to customers. Several additional partners are currently in the certification pipeline and expected to join before the end of the year.
