Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

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

Cluster Deployment

  • Configuring 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 Optimization

  • Supported SQL features and known limitations compared to PostgreSQL.
  • Utilizing the cost-based optimizer and interpreting execution plans.
  • Implementing indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON or arrays.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Configuring region and locality settings to control data placement.
  • Comparing 'follow-the-workload' strategies with regional tables and resilience goals.
  • Managing leaseholder placement and topology-aware routing.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery

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

Security and Compliance

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

Integration Patterns

  • Connecting ORM frameworks such as SQLAlchemy, Prisma, and GORM.
  • Strategies for migrating from PostgreSQL using available tooling.
  • Integrating Kubernetes sidecars and service mesh components.

Requirements

  • 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.

Target Audience

  • Senior database architects developing sovereign data layers.
  • Engineering teams migrating away from Spanner, Aurora Global, or Cosmos DB.
  • Financial and healthcare sectors requiring strict data consistency.
