4 Talks About Distributed Databases

First, Lucas Dohmen (INNOQ) will give an overview of distributed databases:
"Let's look at how databases can be distributed to multiple nodes. We will start with covering consistency models like strong consistency and eventual consistency. We will then talk about different ways of distributing databases and the reasons for distributing databases: Scaling reads and/or writes, reliability, big data sets and geographical distribution. Distributed databases have disadvantages too: We will talk about the influence of networks and clocks on our database. And yes, we will cover the CAP theorem and what it means."

Afterwards we will have 3 short talks which provide a closer look how specific databases handle replication and consistency:

• CouchDB, Maximilian Huber (TNG Technology Consulting)
• Google Spanner & CockroachDB, Alexey Kuntsevich (FlixBus)
• PostgreSQL, Stefan Seelmann (SimScale)
