Description

Introduction of YugabyteDB for Building Scalable Apps

This hands-on workshop is designed to help developers and database administrators master YugabyteDB by building scalable applications. YugabyteDB, with its distributed SQL architecture, provides a powerful solution for high-performance, globally distributed applications. Through this workshop, participants will learn how to use YugabyteDB effectively in real-world scenarios, from setting up the database to building and optimizing applications for scalability and performance.

Prerequisites 

• Basic knowledge of databases and SQL.
• Familiarity with cloud technologies and distributed systems.
• Understanding of application development frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, etc.).
• Some experience with YugabyteDB or similar distributed databases is helpful but not required.
