Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Addressing the constraints of closed platforms for global SQL: Spanner, Aurora Global.
  • Understanding CockroachDB architecture: Raft ranges, leaseholders, and MVCC.
  • Achieving horizontal scaling without reliance on shared storage.

Cluster Deployment

  • Configuring single-region and multi-region topologies using Docker Compose.
  • Deploying Kubernetes StatefulSets with persistent volumes.
  • Implementing best practices for security certificates and node initialization.

SQL Compatibility and Query Tuning

  • Reviewing supported SQL features and PostgreSQL compatibility limitations.
  • Analyzing cost-based optimizer strategies and execution plans.
  • Leveraging indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON and arrays.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Setting region and locality parameters for precise data placement.
  • Choosing between follow-the-workload strategies, regional tables, and survival goals.
  • Managing leaseholder placement and topology-aware routing.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery (DR)

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

Security and Compliance

  • Enforcing TLS everywhere: between nodes and from clients to nodes.
  • Implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and row-level security.
  • Managing audit logging and compliance reporting.

Integration Patterns

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

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 developing sovereign data layers.
  • Teams looking to migrate away from Spanner, Aurora Global, or Cosmos DB.
  • Financial and healthcare institutions requiring strong consistency guarantees.
