Optimising SQL++ Queries / Respecting Privacy in Data-Centric Applications

We’re back in-person and we have two talks for you! Join us to meet members of the team, have some drinks and snacks, and learn on modern data platform topics.

Optimising SQL++ Queries
Learning SQL coding is easy, mastering it is hard. In this session you’ll learn how Couchbase processes your queries as well as tips and tricks on how to make your queries faster than ever before.

Respecting your users when writing a data-centric application
Database requirements of the future will not be about scale or performance; they will be about privacy and regulations. This is mostly because scale and performance requirements have already been met for most common use cases. After an era of globalisation, the next question to address is how to manage data effectively and securely. Data must be managed properly to respect all the new privacy laws and regulations, to protect the rights of individuals and ownership of their data, to know where data is, and to safely control access to it.

These new requirements are hard to meet with most traditional database solutions. How do you decide which data to move from a phone to a server – can it be encrypted all the way from the device to the server? And if you have servers that sync across different countries, how do you ensure the data that has to stay in one country for regulation purposes, stays in that country?
