Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • The challenges of global SQL confined within closed platforms like Spanner and Aurora Global.
  • Core CockroachDB architecture: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without relying on shared storage.

Cluster Deployment

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

SQL Compatibility and Query Tuning

  • Overview of supported SQL features and known PostgreSQL limitations.
  • Utilizing the cost-based optimizer and interpreting execution plans.
  • Leveraging indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON and arrays.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Configuring region and locality settings for strategic data placement.
  • Comparing follow-the-workload strategies with regional tables and survival goals.
  • Managing leaseholder placement and topology-aware routing.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery (DR)

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

Security and Compliance

  • Implementing TLS across all channels: node-to-node and client-to-node.
  • Enforcing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and row-level security.
  • 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.
  • A solid conceptual understanding of distributed consensus mechanisms (Raft).
  • Familiarity with Go tooling and Docker is advantageous.

Target Audience
