Course Outline

Distributed SQL Sovereignty

  • Global SQL data often confined to closed platforms such as Spanner and Aurora Global.
  • CockroachDB's architecture features Raft ranges, leaseholders, and Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC).
  • Horizontal scaling is achieved without the need for shared storage.

Cluster Deployment

  • Single-region and multi-region Docker Compose topologies are supported.
  • Kubernetes StatefulSet deployment with persistent volumes ensures data durability.
  • Best practices for security certificates and node initialization enhance system robustness and security.

SQL Compatibility and Query Tuning

  • The database supports a wide range of SQL features while noting certain limitations compared to PostgreSQL.
  • A cost-based optimizer is used to generate efficient execution plans.
  • Indexes, composite keys, and inverted indexes for JSON/arrays optimize query performance.

Multi-Region Configuration

  • Region and locality settings facilitate strategic data placement for optimal performance and compliance.
  • Follow-the-workload strategies are contrasted with regional tables, each designed to meet specific survival goals.
  • Leaseholder placement and topology-aware routing ensure efficient data access across regions.

Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery

  • Full cluster backups can be stored in cloud storage or on-premise S3 for robust data protection.
  • Incremental backups and point-in-time recovery options are available to minimize downtime and data loss.
  • Changefeeds enable real-time data streaming to Kafka and webhooks, enhancing operational flexibility.

Security and Compliance

  • TLS encryption is implemented for all node-to-node and client-to-node communications to ensure data security.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and row-level security features provide granular access management.
  • Comprehensive audit logging and compliance reporting support regulatory requirements and internal audits.

Integration Patterns

  • ORM frameworks such as SQLAlchemy, Prisma, and GORM can be seamlessly integrated for efficient data management.
  • Tools are available to facilitate migration from PostgreSQL, ensuring a smooth transition for government applications.
  • Kubernetes sidecars and service mesh integration enhance the scalability and resilience of distributed systems for government use.

Requirements

  • Proficient in SQL and relational database administration.
  • Advanced knowledge of distributed consensus mechanisms (e.g., Raft).
  • Familiarity with Go tooling and Docker is beneficial.

Audience

  • Senior database architects developing sovereign data layers for government and private sector entities.
  • Teams transitioning from Spanner, Aurora Global, and Cosmos DB to more tailored solutions.
  • Financial and healthcare organizations requiring robust consistency in their data management systems.
