Main Talks
1. Input Guardrails for Large Language Models - Salman Saeed
2. The lifetime of a write, 3 ways: in Postgres, Kafka and Flink - Celeste Horgan
In this talk we’ll take a step back to look at three data services: Postgres, Apache Kafka and Apache Iceberg, and how they each handle writes. In doing so, we’ll trace a history through how data services have evolved in the world of distributed systems and big data. We’ll understand the key differences and similarities between these services. Finally, we’ll take a look at what’s coming next in the world of open source data, from Postgres and beyond.
