Rootconf 2025 Annual Conference - 16th and 17th May

Description:

Apache HBase is an open-source non-relational distributed database. It is developed as part of Apache Software Foundation’s Apache Hadoop project and runs on top of HDFS, providing Bigtable-like capabilities for Hadoop.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery is a necessity for every organization. One aspect of it is to make their backend systems available in more than one Region / Data Center / Cloud. At Flipkart, we have our infrastructure available across multiple Regions and hybrid cloud and here is a case study on how we architected our multi region constructs with Apache HBase

This talk covers the architectural aspects of constructs required to run Apache HBase across multi DC / hybrids. Some constructs covered will be around the core database (Apache HBase) capabilities and its configurations, ephemeral constructs such as Change Data Capture, Client level constructs.

Takeaways

• Case study on managing databases like Apache HBase in multi DC / Hybrid cloud setup built for handling high scale
• Case study on constructs required by Functional applications while interacting with databases deployed across multi DC / Hybrid cloud
• Case study on deployment model with kubernetes in the context of multi DC / Hybrid cloud

Audience

• Engineers / SRE’s curious to understand how databases can be handled in multi dc / hybrid cloud setup
• Engineers want to understand what sort of constructs are required to run functional applications which is deployed across multi dc / hybrid cloud in the context of interacting with Databases.
• SRE’s curious to understand deployment model of multi dc / hybrid cloud setup
