CrateDB Workshop

About

CrateDB Workshop is a hands-on learning experience for novel and experienced users. The workshop introduces the fundamental concepts of CrateDB, a distributed SQL database, and how it can be used to efficiently store, query, and analyze large amounts of data.

The workshop is delivered in a guided, step-by-step manner over two days. On the first day, you will learn about CrateDB’s distributed architecture, installation process, and how to create tables and run queries. During the second day, you will get familiar with more advanced features such as full-text search, data modeling, and how to further optimize your queries. Each module will be followed by a Q&A session with our engineers.
