The Magic of Distributed SQL: App Development Made Easier

Kavya Shivashankar

Distributed SQL is known for delivering scale and resilience to a relational database system. But, did you know that these modern databases can also greatly speed the work of developers by simplifying the application? In this session, we'll look at how Smart Drivers, connection pooling, and your design of application connections can have a major impact on the performance of your applications and the complexity you as a programmer need to manage. Learn how the right distributed SQL database can streamline your application stack by offloading key tasks—allowing you to spend less time managing potential DB issues and conflicts. Join us as we get into the technical details of YugabyteDB features and walk through a real-world demo.

End-to-End Stack: Harnessing YugabyteDB and Ecosystem Solutions to Build Globally

Yogi Rampuria

Deploying enterprise-class, global applications requires multiple moving parts. Having the right distributed database is a key first step on the journey to cloud native apps, but it’s critical to also be able to confidently integrate your database with the larger IT and app stack. Join Yogi, our expert YugabyteDB solution engineer, as he presents a reference design for building a globally scalable financial application using YugabyteDB and other cloud native technologies. He’ll explore key considerations when connecting YugabyteDB to IaaS, smart drivers, Kafka, Spring Data R2DBC, GraphQL (Hasura), IntelliJ, and cross-infrastructure connectivity (VPN and Submariner for K8s)

xCluster Replication: Discover The Power and Flexibility of Asynchronous Replication

Tim Faulkes and Sandeep Lingam

YugabyteDB provides synchronous replication between three or more datacenters, but many use cases do not require that level of replication (and the additional cost of managing numerous clusters and data centers). In this session, we’ll deep dive into a key YugabyteDB differentiator: xCluster Replication. You’ll learn how asynchronous replication across two data centers can solve key use cases and arm with you greater flexibility when it comes to deployment architectures. The session will cover the latest features, what’s coming next, and how xCluster Replication acts as a powerful Disaster Recovery (DR) tool.

PostgreSQL: Revealing Secrets Behind YugabyteDB's Industry Leading Compatibility

Rob Sami and Piyush Jain

Lots of vendors talk about PostgreSQL compatibility, but what does that really mean? Is all PostgreSQL compatibility the same? In this session, we’ll answer those questions, and look at the advantages of reusing Postgres‚ native query layer, versus writing a new or partially-compatible PostgreSQL query layer. Discover the advanced Postgres features supported in YugabyteDB and learn why pessimistic locking is so important to developers building new apps or migrating existing apps written for classic PostgreSQL.

Change Data Capture: Exploring YugabyteDB's Modern Design

Prasad Radhakrishnan and Suranjan Kumar

Change Data Capture (CDC) has become a powerful tool for developers across a wide range of use cases. YugabyteDB recently added support for CDC and is continuing to expand on its capabilities. In this session, we’ll examine the history of change data and discuss popular techniques used on the consumer side during the early Oracle and Sybase days. You’ll then learn different database file types, what this means in the modern distributed SQL world, and how YugabyteDB approaches the design of CDC.
