AGENDA
[10:00 AM]
Building a Kubernetes Platform for Trillion Row Tables--Cloud Native Data at Scale
presented by Robert Hodges, CEO, Altinity
Bio:
Robert Hodges is CEO of Altinity, an enterprise provider for ClickHouse. He has worked in and around databases for 40 years, and on Kubernetes since 2018. Altinity wrote the first Kubernetes operator for a data warehouse and also deployed the first cloud platform for ClickHouse in AWS and GCP.
Description:
Kubernetes is an amazing platform for data, but it requires focus to deliver production apps, especially if they are large. In this talk I'll share learnings from operating a database SaaS for ClickHouse as well as helping customers do it themselves. We'll describe some of the attributes of large analytic applications, then discuss common approaches to building platforms to operate them. Our talk will cover use of standard tools like Terraform, Helm, and Argo CD, which work together to bring up Kubernetes and the apps that run inside it. Along the way we'll describe various "aha!" experiences, tools, and even team organization to support large database applications on Kubernetes.
