Episode #23: The Challenge of Database Scale and Resilience in the Modern Cloud (Presented by: Cockroach Labs)

Featuring:
Jim Walker — VP of Product Marketing, Cockroach Labds

Distributed systems and distributed thinking are becoming more popular as we look to squeeze efficiencies out of our once wasteful monolithic applications. The cloud promises elastic scale and can give us an always on and available infrastructure, but our approach to building apps may need to be rethought to take advantage of this promise.

In this webcast, we will explore the architecture of CockroachDB, a naturally distributed database designed to deliver transactions at global scale. We will walk through some of the design considerations we considered when architecting our database and provide some key best practices.

How do you design for scale and resilience IN your application instead of around your application?

Some of the topics we will cover include:
Designing for scale and resilience
Orchestrating distributed services
Distributed principles and application design

Agenda

  • Designing for scale and resilience
