The webinar explores the core building blocks of a modern CIAM stack and why they require a horizontally scalable, globally distributed database. You’ll see how distributed SQL addresses the limitations of both traditional relational and NoSQL systems, and why CockroachDB’s always-on, cloud-native architecture is such a strong fit for mission-critical login and signup services. You’ll also dive into the Ory ecosystem and see how Ory delivers OAuth2/OpenID Connect, identity management, fine-grained permissions, and API access control. The session covers how large enterprises run Ory at massive scale and why Ory chose CockroachDB as the primary database for its managed service, highlighting security, data sovereignty, resilience, and performance across global regions. This session is ideal for IAM leaders, architects, and developers building robust CIAM solutions that turn identity from a bottleneck into a growth driver.
