Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • The limitations of global SQL locked into closed platforms: Spanner, Aurora Global.
  • CockroachDB architecture: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without shared storage constraints.

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 compatibility with PostgreSQL limitations.
  • Understanding the cost-based optimizer and execution plans.
  • Utilizing indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON and arrays.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Configuring region and locality settings for precise data placement.
  • Distinguishing between follow-the-workload strategies, regional tables, and survival 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.
  • Executing incremental backups and point-in-time recovery.
  • Using Changefeeds for Kafka and webhook streaming.

Security and Compliance

  • Implementing TLS everywhere: node-to-node and client-to-node.
  • Managing RBAC and row-level security.
  • Conducting audit logging and generating compliance reports.

Integration Patterns

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

Requirements

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

Target Audience

  • Senior database architects who are building sovereign data layers.
  • Teams tasked with replacing Spanner, Aurora Global, or Cosmos DB.
  • Financial and healthcare organizations requiring strong consistency guarantees.
