Speaker
Abstract
In this talk we will explore the world of time series and unique set of problems time series present to the developers. We will discuss the engineering principles behind QuestDB's design, focusing on high performance. We will also explore how technical and economical constraints of cloud providers shape database architectures.
Some of the challenges we are going to touch on are:
- Geographical data distribution with cloud-native replication
- Simplifying data pipelines with HA writes
- Data visualization with high-performance SQL extensions and window functions
- Reducing cost of data ownership with database-native cold storage integration
- Providing data scientists with scalable data access
- Vectorized and multithreaded SQL execution

Session architecture Improving Developer Experience Using Automated Data CI/CD Pipelines Noémi Ványi, Simona Pencea Validating your code against actual production data can be challenging. We have all been at least once on the receiving end of a "test1" email subject because somebody somewhere did a test with the production database. 15:55 Windsor (5th Fl.) Session Building Databases Rockset - Building a Modern Analytics Database on Top of RocksDB Igor Canadi Founding Engineer and Architect @Rockset, Previously at RocksDB and Facebook RocksDB, a key-value store built on the foundation of Log-Structured Merge-Tree data structures and originally open-sourced by Facebook, has played a significant role in shaping data systems over the past decades. 17:05 Rutherford (4th Fl.) Unconference Unconference: Innovations in Data Engineering An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. Attendees come together, bringing their challenges and relying on the experience and know-how of their peers for solutions.
