- Trainer had good practical knowledge about using cassandra day-to-day at least for development purposes
- Catering (snacks, coffee hour) were great
- 3 days length was good

| cassdbfun | Fundamentals of Cassandra DB | 21 hours | This course introduces the basics of Cassandra 2.0 including its installation & configuration, internal architecture, tools, Cassandra Query Language, and administration. Audience Administrators and developers seeking to use Cassandra. This course serves as a foundation and prerequisite for other advanced Cassandra courses. Introduction to Cassandra Big Data Common use cases of Cassandra Cassandra architecture Installation and Configuration Running and Stopping Cassandra instance Cassandra Data Model Cassandra Query Language Configuring the Cassandra nodes and clusters using CCM cqlsh shell commands nodetool Using cassandra-stress to populate and test the Cassandra nodes Coordinating the Cassandra requests Replication Consistency Tuning Cassandra Nodes Communication Writing and Reading data to/from the storage engine Data directories Anti-entropy operations Cassandra Compaction Choosing and Implementing compaction strategies Best practices in hardware planning Troubleshooting resources |
| cassdev | Cassandra for Developers | 21 hours | This course will introduce Cassandra – a popular NoSQL database. It will cover Cassandra principles, architecture and data model. Students will learn data modeling in CQL (Cassandra Query Language) in hands-on, interactive labs. This session also discusses Cassandra internals and some admin topics. Duration : 3 days Audience : Developers Section 1: Introduction to Big Data / NoSQL NoSQL overview CAP theorem When is NoSQL appropriate Columnar storage NoSQL ecosystem Section 2 : Cassandra Basics Design and architecture Cassandra nodes, clusters, datacenters Keyspaces, tables, rows and columns Partitioning, replication, tokens Quorum and consistency levels Labs : interacting with cassandra using CQLSH Section 3: Data Modeling – part 1 introduction to CQL CQL Datatypes creating keyspaces & tables Choosing columns and types Choosing primary keys Data layout for rows and columns Time to live (TTL) Querying with CQL CQL updates Collections (list / map / set) Labs : various data modeling exercises using CQL ; experimenting with queries and supported data types Section 4: Data Modeling – part 2 Creating and using secondary indexes composite keys (partition keys and clustering keys) Time series data Best practices for time series data Counters Lightweight transactions (LWT) Labs : creating and using indexes; modeling time series data Section 5 : Data Modeling Labs : Group design session multiple use cases from various domains are presented students work in groups to come up designs and models discuss various designs, analyze decisions Lab : implement one of the scenario Section 6: Cassandra drivers Introduction to Java driver CRUD (Create / Read / Update, Delete) operations using Java client Asynchronous queries Labs : using Java API for Cassandra Section 7 : Cassandra Internals understand Cassandra design under the hood sstables, memtables, commit log read path / write path caching vnodes Section 8: Administration Hardware selection Cassandra distributions Cassandra best practices (compaction, garbage collection,) troubleshooting tools and tips Lab : students install Cassandra, run benchmarks Section 9: Bonus Lab (time permitting) Implement a music service like Pandora / Spotify on Cassandra |

| scylladb | Scylla database | 21 hours | Scylla is an open-source distributed NoSQL data store. It is compatible with Apache Cassandra but performs at significantly higher throughputs and lower latencies. In this course, participants will learn about Scylla's features and architecture while obtaining practical experience with setting up, administering, monitoring, and troubleshooting Scylla. Audience Database administrators Developers System Engineers Format of the course The course is interactive and includes discussions of the principles and approaches for deploying and managing Scylla distributed databases and clusters. The course includes a heavy component of hands-on exercises and practice. Introduction to Scylla Installing and running Scylla Understanding distributed databases Scylla's data model and architecture Working with CQL (Cassandra Query Language) Setting up a Scylla cluster Scylla tools Database administration Troubleshooting Scylla |
