All of our different sessions are led by top ScyllaDB engineers and architects, aimed at different levels of expertise and tasks. From essentials to setting up and configuring ScyllaDB to more advanced topics such as Change Data Capture, ScyllaDB and Kubernetes, and using the DynamoDB API.

As a reminder, the ScyllaDB University LIVE is a FREE, half-day, instructor-led training event, with training sessions. It will include two parallel tracks, one aimed at beginners, covering the basics and how to get started with ScyllaDB and one for more experienced users, covering advanced topics and new features. The sessions in the tracks start concurrently so that you can jump back and forth between sessions.

Following the sessions, we will host a roundtable discussion where you’ll have the opportunity to talk with ScyllaDB experts and network with other users.

We’ll host the live sessions in two different time zones to better support our global community of users. Our Nov 9th training is scheduled for a time convenient in North and South America, while Nov 10th will be the same sessions scheduled for attendees in Europe and Asia.
