Learn how we built SQL Server Data Services to address hard distributed systems and operations challenges. We describe how we solved problems like failure detection, leader election, and automatic failover using a new innovation called Distributed Data Fabric. We go deep and elaborate on the changes we made to the core SQL Server RDBMS to ship this massively scalable data service. We also describe the operational systems we use to provision, monitor, and manage SSDS without interrupting the service. Finally, learn how we manage and run this service in our datacenters.
