Running Stateful at Scale: Scalable SQL Databases on Kubernetes | CockroachDB Webinar

Description

It's a long-held belief that Kubernetes is not an ideal orchestration environment for stateful applications like databases. The ephemeral nature of pods is typically bad news for something that's required to be available 100% of the time—but what if your database was built with distributed deployment and Kubernetes in mind? When your applications are orchestrated in Kubernetes, the temptation to colocate your database alongside it, within the same cluster can be very tempting (and worthwhile)! Cockroach Labs orchestrates all of its managed service databases within Kubernetes; from our multi-tenant Basic and Standard tiers up to our Advanced tier, it's Kubernetes all the way down. In this webinar, our Director of Product Management and Senior Enterprise Architect will share: - Our learnings from running large scale databases in Kubernetes - Why CockroachDB thrives, regardless of your operating environment - How we harness Kubernetes to test CockroachDB under severe conditions, allowing us to bring you the resilience receipts - Why colocating your database with your microservice applications in Kubernetes can bring significant operational benefits Chapters: 00:00 Introduction: SQL databases, Kubernetes, CockroachDB, & distributed SQL 13:06 CockroachDB & Kubernetes 17:50 Example architecture 24:23 Demo begins 31:37 Webinar summary 33:27 Q&A
