Continent 8 Technologies, a leading powerhouse of managed IT solutions for the iGaming industry, has announced the launch of its fully managed CockroachDB service.
The offering expands Continent 8’s portfolio across AWS Outposts, hybrid cloud, and Kubernetes environments, including AWS EKS – enabling operators and suppliers to deploy distributed, highly resilient data infrastructure.
As the iGaming industry enters a new phase driven by rapid scalability, real-time player engagement, and complex regulatory demands, operators must navigate high-throughput workloads across multiple jurisdictions while overcoming the limitations of legacy monolithic databases in increasingly distributed environments.
CockroachDB’s cloud-agnostic and PostgreSQL-compatible distributed architecture directly addresses these challenges by enabling strongly consistent transactions across regions and hybrid deployments. This allows operators to operate across markets while maintaining strict control over where data resides and how it is managed.
Combined with Continent 8’s global footprint – spanning more than 100 locations across the globe in regulated jurisdictions – the service provides a foundation for deploying infrastructure closer to players without compromising compliance or performance.
“Continent 8 has always focused on delivering infrastructure that meets the unique demands of the iGaming industry – where performance, compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable,” said David Brace, Chief Alliance & Partnership Officer, AWS, at Continent 8 Technologies. “As our customers grow across regulated markets, the database becomes a critical component. Our managed CockroachDB service provides the consistency, resilience, and deployment flexibility required to support that growth.”
As operators scale into new markets and adopt hybrid deployment models spanning on-premises, cloud, and edge environments, the need for integrated, multi-region infrastructure continues to grow. By incorporating CockroachDB into its portfolio of hosting, cloud, connectivity, and cybersecurity solutions, Continent 8 delivers a unified platform designed to simplify operations while supporting massive scale in regulated environments.
“Partnerships like this are critical as operators move toward more integrated, ecosystem-driven infrastructure models,” shared Allen Terleto, VP Global Partners and Ecosystem at Cockroach Labs. “By combining Continent 8’s managed services and AWS expertise with CockroachDB’s distributed SQL capabilities, we’re enabling customers to build and operate modern applications across hybrid environments with greater flexibility and control. It also strengthens the broader ISV ecosystem supporting iGaming, making it easier to bring new services to market on a data platform that can scale with the evolving demands of the industry.”
