Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Challenges of global SQL locked within closed platforms: Spanner, Aurora Global.
  • Architecture of CockroachDB: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without relying on shared storage.

Cluster Deployment

  • 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

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

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Defining region and locality settings for strategic data placement.
  • Distinguishing between follow-the-workload strategies, regional tables, and survival 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.
  • Using Changefeeds for streaming data via Kafka and webhooks.

Security and Compliance

  • Implementing TLS across the board: node-to-node and client-to-node communications.
  • Enforcing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and row-level security.
  • Utilizing audit logging and compliance reporting tools.

Integration Patterns

  • Connecting ORM frameworks: SQLAlchemy, Prisma, GORM.
  • Strategies for migrating from PostgreSQL using appropriate tooling.
  • Integrating Kubernetes sidecars and service mesh solutions.

Requirements

  • Proficient knowledge of SQL and relational database administration.
  • A solid conceptual understanding of distributed consensus mechanisms (Raft).
  • Familiarity with Go tooling and Docker is advantageous.

Target Audience

  • Senior database architects focused on building sovereign data layers.
