Despite PostgreSQL including more extension to support distributed databases, they come at a cost of adding more extensions which can be troublesome. Instead of mimicking distributed databases, we can power ourselves up with using a proper distributed database system that provides high availability and in-built scaling techniques to solve big data problems we have today.
Round B:
WIIFY:
Understand how CockroachDB is not difficult to learn as it builds on SQL concepts
Understand how CockroachDB provides high availability solutions and prevents issues from single node failures.
Understand how CockroachDB improves performance via its scaling capabilites.
Key Points:
CockraochDB is backwards-compatible with old SQL technologies such as PostgreSQL
CockroachDB helps with performance via distributed queries and sharding
CockroachDB protects against server crashes via its master-slave architecture.
Impact:
Know: What are distributed databases and what CockroachDB is
Believe: CockroachDB is the next step to providing better data access layers for OLTP applications
Do: Adopt CockroachDB instead of old SQL options in open source projects.
