In this talk by our engineers, learn more about CrateDB Cloud in a demo environment. We will demonstrate how to start and scale the new cluster, how to implement logical replication, run data ingestion, and understand the real costs behind CrateDB Cloud. Guess who will be the next CrateDB Cloud expert in the room 😉. 

Speakers:

  • Roman Meingassner, Senior Product Manager, Crate.io
  • Romanas Sonkinas, Lead Engineer of CrateDB Cloud, Crate.io

Datastores promise easy scaling of your cluster to handle your data needs, providing top performance, but it (almost) never works as promised with out-of-the-box configuration. So, how can you scale efficiently with CrateDB and achieve performant queries? You will learn how sharding & partitioning choices, along with correct data modeling can get you there. Also, discover how to monitor your cluster to avoid unpleasant surprises, as Marios will share his best practices to keep your cluster healthy at all times! Finally, you'll learn about the key factors which will allow you to deploy CrateDB to the cloud and achieve the desired performance. 

Speaker: Marios Trivyzas, Senior Software Engineer, Crate.io
