Maximizing the Power and Value of Open Source Databases
Open source database adoption continues to grow in enterprise organizations, as companies look to scale for growth, maintain performance, keep up with changing technologies, control risks and contain costs. In today’s environment, a single database technology or platform is no longer an option, as organizations shift to a best-of-breed, polyglot strategy to avoid vendor lock-in, increase agility and enable business growth. Percona’s CEO Peter Zaitsev shares his perspective.
Following this keynote, there will be a round of lightning talks featuring the latest releases from PostgreSQL, MongoDB and MariaDB.
Technology Lightning Talks
PostgreSQL 11
PostgreSQL benefits from over 20 years of open source development, and has become the preferred open source relational database for developers. PostgreSQL 11 was released on October 18. It provides users with improvements to the overall performance of the database system, with specific enhancements associated with very large databases and high computational workloads.
MongoDB 4.0
Do you love MongoDB? With version 4.0 you have a reason to love it even more! MongoDB 4.0 adds support for multi-document ACID transactions, combining the document model with ACID guarantees. Through snapshot isolation, transactions provide a consistent view of data and enforce all-or-nothing execution to maintain data integrity. And not only transactions – MongoDB 4.0 has more exciting features like non-blocking secondary reads, improved sharding, security improvements, and more.
MariaDB 10.3
MariaDB benefits from a thriving community of contributors. The latest release, MariaDB 10.3, provides several new features not found anywhere else, as well back-ported and reimplemented features from MySQL.
Paddy Power Betfair, Percona, and MySQL
This keynote highlights the collaborative journey Paddy Power Betfair and Percona have taken through the adoption of MySQL within the PPB enterprise. The keynote focuses on how Percona has assisted PPB in adopting MySQL, and how PPB has used this partnership to deliver a full DBaaS for a MySQL solution on OpenStack.
Wednesday 7th November
State of the Dolphin
Geir Høydalsvik (Oracle) will talk about the focus, strategy, investments, and innovations evolving MySQL to power next-generation web, mobile, cloud, and embedded applications. He will also discuss the latest and the most significant MySQL database release ever in its history, MySQL 8.0.
Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS)
Amazon RDS is a fully managed database service that allows you to launch an optimally configured, secure, and highly available database with just a few clicks. It manages time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you to focus on your applications and business. This keynote features the latest news and announcements from RDS, including the launches of Aurora Serverless, Parallel Query, Backtrack, RDS MySQL 8.0, PostgreSQL 10.0, Performance Insights, and several other recent innovations.
TiDB 2.1, MySQL Compatibility, and Multi-Cloud Deployment
This keynote talk from PingCap will provide an architectural overview of TiDB, how and why it’s MySQL compatible, the latest features and improvements in TiDB 2.1 GA release, and how its multi-cloud fully-managed solution works.
MyRocks in the Real World
In this keynote, Yoshinori Matsunobu, Facebook, will share interesting lessons learned from Facebook’s production deployment and operations of MyRocks and future MyRocks development roadmaps.
