Distributed SQL with CockroachDB,
by Emil Andreas Siemes (Senior Staff Sales Engineer at Cockroachlabs)

In this talk we will look into the history and benefits of distributed SQL with a focus on OLTP. Main focus will be CockroachDB but we will also touch other solutions and compare them. Beside the technical architecture we will discuss typical use cases.

Fully-managed Cloud-native Databases: The path to indefinite scale,
by Dirk Kröhan (Software Architect at QAware)

When it comes to the question: "Where do we actually store our application data?", we are spoilt for choice, especially when it comes to the major cloud providers.

The simple and often completely valid answer is still the classic relational database! It is very suitable for many areas of application, as the technology is tried and tested and can cover a very broad spectrum. It is therefore not surprising that all major cloud providers offer this as a "managed service".
For some years now, however, there have also been so-called cloud-native databases that have been specially developed for the requirements of the cloud. The big promise: "Infinite scalability"
In a large customer project, we have been using such a database productively for over 4 years with Azure CosmosDB. The presentation will deal with the following questions, among others

• What does "upscalability" mean in practice ?
• What do you have to pay attention to when designing?
• What are the actual limits?
• What other special features do I get?
• When do I need a cloud-native database?

But that's not all! We also look beyond Azure to the other two major cloud providers: AWS and Google Cloud. With DynamoDB and Datastore/Firestore, they have similar products on offer.
