The importance of operational resilience is highlighted by a recent survey from Cockroach Labs, which found that 55% of companies experience IT disruptions and outages on a weekly basis, resulting in costs ranging from $10,000 to over $1 million per incident. The survey also revealed that almost half of companies take two or more hours to fix outages, while nearly half acknowledge their organizations are falling short in resilience enhancement. Cockroach Labs' CEO Spencer Kimball emphasizes the need for proactive IT resilience strategies and highlights the growing momentum behind digital transformation as key drivers of this shift. Additionally, the survey's findings underscore the critical role of robust database solutions like CockroachDB in minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.
