@Jordan Lewis : CockroachDB的特别之处在于其架构,它允许我们将传统的SQL分布在同构节点集群上,从而实现水平扩展。CockroachDB的工作原理是将数据分割成范围,并自动进行分片计算,对用户隐藏分片细节,从而简化SQL的使用。CockroachDB允许用户像往常一样使用SQL,数据库管理数据分片,无需暴露复杂性。我两种说法都会用,但我通常说SQL,这主要是受公司创始人的影响。

SQL databases were built for data consistency and vertical scalability. They did this very well for the long era of monolithic applications running in dedicated, single-server environments. However, their design presented a problem when the paradigm changed to distributed applications in the cloud. This shift eventually ushered in the rise of distributed SQL databases. One of the most prominent is CockroachDB, which uses a distributed architecture inspired by Google’s Spanner. But what were the engineering approaches that made this architecture possible?

Jordan Lewis is a Senior Director of Engineering at CockroachDB Cloud. He joins the show to talk about the design of CockroachDB and how it works under the hood.

This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization. His best-selling book, Architecting for Scale (O’Reilly Media), is an essential resource for technical teams looking to maintain high availability and manage risk in their cloud environments.

Lee is the host of his podcast, Modern Digital Business, an engaging and informative podcast produced for people looking to build and grow their digital business with the help of modern applications and processes developed for today’s fast-moving business environment.
