Publisher's summary

Welcome to "NewSQL Essentials: Scaling Relational Databases for the Cloud Era." This book is a comprehensive guide that aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of NewSQL databases in the context of the rapidly evolving cloud landscape.

In recent years, we have witnessed an exponential growth in data volumes and the increasing demand for scalable, high-performance databases. Traditional relational databases, while reliable and feature-rich, face challenges in meeting the demands of modern applications that require massive scalability, real-time processing, and seamless integration with cloud environments.

NewSQL databases have emerged as a transformative solution to bridge the gap between traditional SQL and NoSQL databases. By combining the best aspects of both worlds, NewSQL databases offer the scalability, performance, and fault tolerance required by today's data-intensive applications while preserving the relational model and transactional guarantees.

In this book, we will take you on a journey to explore the fundamental concepts, principles, and practical aspects of NewSQL databases. Whether you are a database professional, developer, or simply someone eager to understand the potential of NewSQL, this book will provide you with the tools and insights to leverage these databases effectively.

We will start by delving into the core characteristics and features of NewSQL databases. You will gain an understanding of their distributed architectures, scalability models, fault tolerance mechanisms, and how they achieve high availability while maintaining data consistency.

Next, we will guide you through the process of selecting and deploying NewSQL databases in the cloud. You will learn about the various deployment models, cloud-native features, and integration with cloud services that enable seamless scalability, management, and monitoring.

With a solid foundation established, we will explore the design considerations and best practices for developing applications with NewSQL databases. You will discover techniques for schema design, data modeling, and query optimization to ensure optimal performance and scalability.

Additionally, we will cover advanced topics such as data replication, distributed transactions, and real-time analytics with NewSQL databases. These topics will provide you with the necessary knowledge to handle complex scenarios and leverage the full potential of NewSQL databases in demanding use cases.

Throughout the book, we will present practical examples, code snippets, and real-world case studies to illustrate the concepts and provide hands-on guidance. You will have opportunities to experiment with NewSQL databases in lab environments or cloud platforms, allowing you to gain valuable experience and deepen your understanding.

The field of NewSQL databases is dynamic and continuously evolving. Therefore, we encourage you to stay curious, explore further, and keep up with the latest developments in this exciting domain. NewSQL Essentials will serve as your foundation, empowering you to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing landscape of scalable, cloud-native databases.

We hope this book will serve as your trusted companion as you embark on your journey into the world of NewSQL databases. Let's dive in and unlock the potential of scaling relational databases for the cloud era!

Happy reading and exploring!
