Introduction to Distributed SQL

As application data demands have continued to rise. In response, database architects and administrators have become custodians of business applications and are expected to manage growing transaction loads across increasingly larger databases. In addition, these applications must be kept running securely, without downtime, and with minimal latency.

Distributed SQL is the solution to these modern application demands as it offers the consistency and structure of early relational databases with the scalability, survivability, and performance first pioneered in NoSQL databases. 

Join this interactive session with Rob Reid, Technical Evangelist at Cockroach Labs to learn how using a distributed SQL database can help you deliver modern, resilient business applications faster, more cost-effectively, and more scalably. Specifically, in this session you will learn: 

• How distributed SQL came to be

• Key characteristics of a distributed SQL database

• Fundamentals of how CockroachDB, a modern distributed SQL solution, works

• Challenges distributed SQL databases can solve in terms of horizontal scalability, high availability, resilience, data locality, and compliance
