Kindred Futures partners with Cockroach Labs to Build a Next Generation Global Online Gaming PlatformKindred Futures is partnering with Cockroach Labs to build the next generation global online gaming platform for Kindred Futures' parent company Kindred Group plc. As a rapidly growing, global business with strict data privacy and technical requirements, Kindred's ambitious project to build a global online gaming platform with multiple active data centers that span continents is an exciting opportunity for Cockroach Labs and their namesake product CockroachDB. As Kindred Group grows around the world, distance from the customer's device to the datacenters increases, resulting in potentially lower speeds, performance and reliability. By collaborating with CockroachDB, the SQL database for global cloud services, Kindred will be able to greatly improve the customer experience across all Kindred brands. "CockroachDB is exactly the product and team we've been seeking as we look for better ways to serve our growing base of global customers. Countries are becoming more protective of their citizens' data, and we need a partner that can help us to better serve global users while remaining compliant with domestic regulations," commented Marcus Smedman, CTO f Kindred Group. Through the mutually-beneficial partnership, Kindred will help to shape the development of CockroachDB. Outside of Google (News - Alert), there is no solution like this, and Cockroach's unique approach offers a great partnership opportunity for Kindred Futures.
