The book describes concepts associated with relational databases and evaluation of the latest distributed SQL databases. This book explains the details of the CockroachDB cluster internal mechanics and the rich features of the CockroachDB. The data partitions and auto-rebalancing chapters are explained very well.The other sections of schema creation and management are also explained in detail specific to CockroachDB. The admin user features and security of the DB features are also explained very well. I would like to recommend adding more troubleshooting issues. This will help users address the issues they face, but these details will change very frequently with the releases of new CockroachDB versions. Overall the book is an excellent guide to learn the CockroachDB.

This book gives a very complete overview of CockroachDB and its inner workings as well as explaining how to deal with distributing data across different locations using SQL. It describes the setup, installation, and configuration of CockroachDB. It completely describes the database architecture and design principles to distribute data for fast access. It covers all the system internals and describes the administration and performance tuning and further how to manage it in the cloud. Overall, a great read to help understand CockroachDB and its usage.

Luiz Ribas Apr 05, 2022

Is an excellent book for database administrators that wants to learn about a different database prepared for the cloud, and extremely recommended for developers that need to understand a little bit more about databases. I believe that CockroachDB is the real next-generation database prepared for the cloud and obtaining a piece of knowledge about it is magnific, this book covers important topics about this database and how to put it in a productive mode.I highly recommend this book, to database administrators, developers, and software architects, after reading you will try to put it in the next project.

The introductory Chapter 1 provides the reader with a quick catchup on the history and evolution of databases through SQL, NoSQL, and NewSQL - a modern globally distributed database service and storage solutions. The introductory chapter starts with basics on understanding the relational model, making this a great book for absolute beginners who’d like to learn and get started on CockroachDB or get familiar with NewSQL databases. CAP-consistent systems are explained clearly with clear visuals, and how this applies to CockroachDB. This section also covers key terms and concepts, and provides an overview of the CockroachDB architecture.Chapter 2 goes into how CockroachDB works, and setting up of a single-node CockroachDB cluster using Docker. This gives the beginner some hands-on experience with CockroachDB, and also goes into the details of how data is distributed across multiple nodes, and describes the Raft distributed consensus protocol in clear terms. Also included in this chapter is the storage engine, how these work with various storage types.Section 2 consists of several chapters that explores several important features of CockroachDB including ACID support, Geo-Partitioning, Fault Tolerance, Auto-Rebalancing, and indexing in CockroachDB.Section 3 consists of several chapters related to working with CockroachDB including schema creation and management, the Admin user interface, security aspects, troubleshooting issues, performance benchmarking, and migration.I’ve worked with CockroachDB on setting up a non-production, multi-node setup, and I was surprised at how easy it was to setup. However, it is important to understand a lot of concepts that make CockroachDB an ACID compliant, with strongly consistent reads, geographically distributed, and a fault-tolerant database. All of these concepts are explained very well in this book, “Getting Started with CockroachDB”. There appears to be just enough detail to get these concepts across. Whether you are an experienced database professional or a complete beginner interested in learning about CockroachDB, you will find this book extremely helpful.

I found this book to be tremendously helpful on understanding the foundational fundamentals when implementing cockroachDB into any project. The book walked me through different use cases and scenarios including how cockroachDB internally processes. For my situation, the most helpful sections were the storage options for a hash table, B+ tree, heap, Log-structured merge-tree (LSM-tree), solid-state drive, flash storage, hard disk, and remote storage.
