Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Overcoming limitations of closed platforms for global SQL, such as Spanner and Aurora Global.
  • Understanding CockroachDB architecture: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without relying on shared storage.

Cluster Deployment

  • Setting up 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 Tuning

  • Exploring supported SQL features and PostgreSQL-compatible limitations.
  • Leveraging the cost-based optimizer and analyzing execution plans.
  • Utilizing indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON/arrays.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Configuring region and locality settings to manage data placement.
  • Understanding follow-the-workload patterns versus regional tables and survival goals.
  • Optimizing leaseholder placement and implementing topology-aware routing.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery (DR)

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

Security and Compliance

  • Implementing TLS across all layers: 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 technologies.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in SQL and relational database administration.
  • A solid conceptual understanding of distributed consensus, specifically the Raft algorithm.
  • Familiarity with Go tooling and Docker is beneficial.

Target Audience

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