Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Addressing the constraints of global SQL locked within closed platforms such as Spanner and Aurora Global.
  • Overview of CockroachDB architecture: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control).
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without relying on shared storage systems.

Cluster Deployment

  • Configuring 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 known limitations regarding PostgreSQL compatibility.
  • Understanding the cost-based optimizer and interpreting execution plans.
  • Utilizing indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON and array data.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Defining region and locality settings to control data placement.
  • Strategies for 'follow-the-workload' routing versus regional tables and disaster recovery 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-compatible stores.
  • Executing incremental backups and point-in-time recovery.
  • Using Changefeeds for streaming data to Kafka and webhooks.

Security and Compliance

  • Implementing TLS across all connections: node-to-node and client-to-node.
  • Managing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and row-level security.
  • Conducting audit logging and generating compliance reports.

Integration Patterns

  • Connecting ORM frameworks such as SQLAlchemy, Prisma, and GORM.
  • Executing migration from PostgreSQL using available tooling.
  • Integrating Kubernetes sidecars and service mesh architectures.

Requirements

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

Target Audience

  • Senior database architects tasked with building sovereign data layers.
  • Teams planning to replace systems like Spanner, Aurora Global, or Cosmos DB.
  • Financial and healthcare organizations requiring strict data consistency.
