The Future of Databases: NoSQL Revolution, NewSQL Evolution or Something Else?

36

Dave Thomas, Chief Scientist, Kx Labs & Godfather of IBM Smalltalk & Eclipse

Free t-shirts, fun foods and fun drinks (beer++), swag and more!

A Database Month event http://www.DBMonth.com/database/nosql-newsql

In this talk, we will discuss the essential features, similarities and differences between the perspectives of what will be 'the database of the future' and also discuss the impact of modern hardware on database architecture and data languages.

We are currently in a time that is considered the revolution of new databases. Cutting-edge data technologies span the gamut of NoSQL, key-value stores, map reduce, graph databases, NewSQL, streaming, in-memory, distributed, replicated, etc.

Massive amounts of data exists in structured form, unstructured and schema-less. Programming models increasingly use functional programming idioms and languages such as Clojure, Scala and F# inspired by Scheme, Haskell and O'Caml.

Data architectures are also a hot topic of discussion such as ACID vs BASE, immutable database, micro-services database per service, OLTP vs the Twitter Storm Lambda Architecture, Gartner HTAP or Forrester Translytical Database.

In the last decade years there have been significant improvements in processor cost, solid state storage, high performance clusters and cloud computing. The number of cores has increased significantly, but unfortunately without tools beyond map-reduce to really make them easily accessible.

As of yet, specialized hardware such as FPGAs and GPUS have just been used for niche applications, and also have challenging programming models. More recently, CPUs have added vector instructions, however tools and programming languages have been slow to exploit them. Small-memory gigabyte machines have rapidly expanded into terabyte machines. Most recently, with 3D NVM memory we are promised massive increases in persistent memory and reduced latency.

Attend this session to learn more about the future of databases!

Did you know that Techie Youth is the ONE-AND-ONLY organization providing career-opportunities to severely-at-risk foster-youth in New York?

Techie Youth is a 501c3 not-for-profit charity of NYC that provides technology-education, followed by assistance beginning an IT-career, to at-risk youth in NYC & Long Island who are in foster-care and classified as being severely-at-risk of becoming homeless and/or incarcerated in the next 18-24 months.

These kids need YOU, they have nobody else.
Please help them. Learn about Nadine, a student of Techie Youth: http://www.TechieYouth.org/hope

    I would like to know for the future: were people with reservations turned away at the door? I did not RSVP or try to attend this event today.

    I went to another meetup hosted by a different group a few weeks ago and was turned away at the door with a confirmed free "ticket" and I don't want that to happen again.

      At least 250 probably will. It would be nice to get a confirmation of what the capacity is.

      Closer to 200 with standing room in main room; 30 to 50 more behind a clouded glass wall might be possible.

    Since this event is so popular, is there any chance of a public live stream with a chat room for those who can't get a seat?
