CockroachDB Cloud is now available on AWS Marketplace with a new pay-as-you-go payment option, allowing users to benefit from a streamlined payment process through their AWS accounts and gain an additional option to acquire Cockroach Cloud alongside the existing private offer. This new model aligns perfectly with the flexible, usage-based pricing inherent to CockroachDB Cloud, making it easier for customers to experience its benefits without long-term financial commitments. The pay-as-you-go model offers enhanced flexibility and usage, a simplified sign-up process, and seamless billing integration, allowing users to link their CockroachDB Cloud organization directly to their AWS billing account for consolidated payments. This transition is part of Cockroach Labs' broader initiative to enhance the customer experience and address feedback from users, as they look forward to collaborating with AWS in future endeavors.
