  • Data
What you'll learn

As datasets grow larger and larger, and more individuals begin manipulating, querying, or upserting data, accidents and mishaps are bound to happen.

In this course, Rollbacks, Time Travel, and Disaster Recovery with Apache Iceberg, you’ll gain the ability to respond to the most common data incidents such as accidental deletion, overwrites, failed transactions, and more.

First, you’ll explore how Apache Iceberg establishes a framework that supports rollbacks, as well as how to manage and maintain this metadata and leverage it in an emergency.

Next, you’ll discover how point-in-time recovery enables you to get your data back to a specific point in time, not just restore a nightly or weekly backup.

Finally, you’ll learn how to configure and prepare your Apache Iceberg platform to support all aspects of disaster recovery including internal options such as snapshot expirations and external options such as multi-regional storage of data.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively implement a disaster recovery plan and be confident in responding to any contingency.
