Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Challenges of global SQL locked into closed platforms: Spanner, Aurora Global.
  • CockroachDB architecture overview: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without shared storage dependencies.

Cluster Deployment

  • Designing single-region and multi-region topologies with Docker Compose.
  • Deploying Kubernetes StatefulSets with persistent volumes.
  • Best practices for security certificates and node initialization.

SQL Compatibility and Query Tuning

  • Supported SQL features and PostgreSQL compatibility limitations.
  • Leveraging the cost-based optimizer and analyzing execution plans.
  • Utilizing indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON/arrays.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Configuring region and locality settings for precise data placement.
  • Balancing follow-the-workload strategies against regional tables and survival goals.
  • Managing leaseholder placement and implementing topology-aware routing.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery (DR)

  • Performing full cluster backups to cloud storage or on-premise S3 buckets.
  • Executing incremental backups and achieving point-in-time recovery.
  • Utilizing Changefeeds for streaming data to Kafka and webhooks.

Security and Compliance

  • Enforcing TLS across all connections: node-to-node and client-to-node.
  • Implementing RBAC and row-level security policies.
  • Managing audit logging and generating compliance reports.

Integration Patterns

  • Connecting ORM frameworks such as SQLAlchemy, Prisma, and GORM.
  • Executing migrations from PostgreSQL using appropriate tooling.
  • Integrating Kubernetes sidecars and service mesh components.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in SQL and relational database administration.
  • Comprehensive understanding of distributed consensus mechanisms (Raft).
  • Familiarity with Go tooling and Docker is advantageous.

Audience
