Cockroach Labs provides a cloud-based relational database and software to manage data anywhere at scale. CEO Kimball says its databases are superresilient—like notoriously tough-to-kill cockroaches—and shield its nearly 100 clients, including Bose, Comcast and Netflix, from outages or system failures.
