Getting the Most out of ScyllaDB University LIVE

We are thrilled to see how many people have pre-registered for our upcoming ScyllaDB University LIVE event on April 22, 2021. To help you get the most out of your experience, I’ll add some links to lessons you can take on ScyllaDB University to brush up before the live online classes begin.

As we described in our prior blog post announcing the event, the ScyllaDB University LIVE will be online and instructor-led. It will include two parallel tracks – one for Developers and ScyllaDB Cloud users and one for DevOps and Architects. You can bounce back and forth between tracks or drop in for the sessions that most interest you. However, please be aware that we don’t plan to record the event. So please choose your learning path wisely!

Following the training sessions, we will host Birds of a Feather networking opportunities to meet your fellow database monsters.

Editor’s Note

ScyllaDB University LIVE has come and gone, but you can log in to ScyllaDB University to take all our online self-paced training. It’s free!
