The Architecture of a Serverless Database - A Kubernetes Story

Distributed SQL databases have already defined what it means to be a cloud-native and their unique architecture allows them to deliver some key innovations. Now with serverless, we use the database’s architecture to remove all barriers between developers and the promise of a massively scalable, familiar SQL database that can power applications of any size.

In this session, we will deliver a deep-dive exploration into the internals of a serverless database, exploring the following, and more:

• How to automatically scale your workload with zero downtime
• How Raft and MVCC are used to guarantee serializable isolation for transactions
• How Cockroach automates scale and guarantees an always-on resilient database
• How to tie data to a location to help with performance and data privacy
• How to only pay what you use and never overspend

CockroachDB - a Distributed SQL cloud-native database designed for consistency, resiliency, located data, and scale - is the core of CockroachDB Serverless. We’d love for you to join us and see how it works!

This will be an intermediate to advanced session.
