Best Distributed SQL Books for a Cloud Native World
Monolithic SQL databases have limitations that pose a major risk for cloud-native applications that require continuous availability and scalability. Distributed SQL databases exist on multiple servers, allowing them to scale horizontally for increased workloads and transfer workloads in the case of outages.
To the cloud applications and to the developers creating those applications there is no difference between SQL and distributed SQL. There is simply the language of SQL. Check out our library of distributed SQL and SQL books to learn more.
Distributed SQL Databases for Dummies

Migrating from Monolithic SQL to Cloud Native Distributed SQL
Many companies are migrating their mission-critical applications to modern microservices architectures built on top of cloud infrastructures.
However, monolithic SQL-based relational databases are not set-up for these dynamic environments as they are architecturally monolithic and run on a single node on top of specialized, costly hardware.
This eBook examines why a cloud native distributed SQL database is better placed to meet the demands of modern, dynamic environments.
New Retail Era: Five Ways to Grow with a Modern Data Layer
Monolithic SQL and NoSQL databases in retail are hindering innovation due to tradeoffs between data consistency, scalability, and reliability.
