🌍 Join the engineers from all around the globe to learn about database best practices, the Prisma inside scoop, and examples of Prisma in production.

🎁 During this event, we will host a raffle, where you can win the "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" book. 📚

Here is the lineup:

◭ Guy Royse: "Dungeons, Dragons, and Graph Databases: D&D-themed introduction to graph databases"

In this talk, Guy will introduce us to the concepts of graph databases. He’ll compare how to solve this problem with a relational database and how a graph database makes it easier. He’ll show us how to query and modify our graph. And, as no talk would be complete without a live demo, he’ll do it all using a real-time procedurally generated random dungeon (he is a dungeon master after all).

◭ Julieta Curdi: "Prisma's Developer Experience"

Julieta is the new addition to our Prisma team! She is a a product designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She studied Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires. Most recently she led the product design team at Auth0 and she joined Prisma to work on the Prisma Data Platform

◭ Andy Woods and Adam Storm: "The Future is Multi-region: Building a World-class Multi-region Application in 4 Easy Steps”

The goal of a Multi-region application is to provide a consistent low-latency experience anywhere in the world, while ensuring resilience and continuous availability. While a Multi-region application is a requirement for any company hoping to attract customers in multiple geographical regions, the database architecture needed to support these kinds of deployments has historically only been accessible to the largest and most sophisticated companies. In this talk, we'll look at what’s required of a database to support Multi-region applications and how you can achieve these capabilities without drowning in the complexity and expense of legacy approaches.
