In today's hyper-connected world, organizations demand database solutions that transcend traditional infrastructure limitations. This talk explores how distributed SQL databases (such as the open source based YugabyteDB) enable unprecedented global resilience and scalability. We'll dive into practical strategies for building fault-tolerant, geo-distributed systems that can withstand regional failures while maintaining data consistency and high performance.

Key insights include: * Architectural principles of cloud-native distributed databases * Multi-region deployment strategies * Automatic failover and self-healing mechanisms * Real-world implementation patterns
