Use Raft Replication with Distributed Database for Resilient Never-Down Apps
October 28, 2025 | 11:00 AM CT
This session is focused on Oracle's Globally Distributed Database and True Cache, presented by Habib ur Rahman, who provided an in-depth overview of the architecture and benefits of distributed databases.
He explains that these systems enhance scalability and fault tolerance by storing data across multiple physical locations. Key use cases highlighted include ultimate scalability and transparent data sovereignty, which ensures compliance with local regulations.
Habib will illustrate these concepts with examples, such as a U.S. bank that re-architected its payment database to comply with India's Data regulation, and BlueKai's migration to Oracle's database for improved data management and performance.
More you can expect to learn in this webinar:
Oracle's sharding techniques, which include system-managed, user-defined, composite, and directory-based sharding, emphasizing their roles in efficient data distribution and performance enhancement.
The raft-based replication method in Oracle 23i, which allows for rapid recovery from failures and supports high availability with minimal data loss.
The organization of tables into families for effective management.
The Global Listener's role in data routing, and the performance implications of direct versus proxy routing methods.
The deployment flexibility of Oracle's globally distributed database across various cloud platforms and its unique features, such as natural language processing for SQL translation and AI vector search capabilities.
