Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Limitations of global SQL on closed platforms like Spanner and Aurora Global.
  • CockroachDB architecture: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Horizontal scaling without reliance on shared storage.

Cluster Deployment

  • Single-region and multi-region topologies using Docker Compose.
  • Kubernetes StatefulSet deployment with persistent volumes.
  • Best practices for security certificates and node initialization.

SQL Compatibility and Query Tuning

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

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Configuring region and locality settings for data placement.
  • Follow-the-workload strategies versus regional tables and resilience goals.
  • Leaseholder placement and topology-aware routing.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery

  • Performing full cluster backups to cloud storage or on-premise S3.
  • Incremental backups and point-in-time recovery capabilities.
  • Using Changefeeds for Kafka and webhook streaming.

Security and Compliance

  • Implementing TLS everywhere for node-to-node and client-to-node communication.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and row-level security.
  • Audit logging and compliance reporting.

Integration Patterns

  • Connecting ORM frameworks such as SQLAlchemy, Prisma, and GORM.
  • Migrating from PostgreSQL using available tooling.
  • Integrating Kubernetes sidecars and service meshes.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in SQL and relational database administration.
  • A solid conceptual understanding of distributed consensus mechanisms, specifically Raft.
  • Familiarity with Go tooling and Docker is advantageous.

Audience
