Free beer & drinks, junk food, swag and more!

Yuan Ren, Head of Data Science, mParticle

A Database Month event http://www.DBMonth.com/database/performance

In this tech talk, Yuan Ren, Head of Data Science at mParticle, will show you how to design a high throughput and low latency NoSQL deployment.

In this fun-filled presentation you will learn:

• How to stop worrying about mix workloads, read-modify-write, compaction and tuning

• Why we switched from Apache Cassandra to ScyllaDB, an open source database that is fully compatible with Apache Cassandra

• How to more effectively utilize high capacity Amazon Web Services (AWS) hardware, including the 64 vcpu, 15TB NVMe i3.16xl instances to run a 100TB dataset with just 10 nodes

mParticle captures more than $5 billion in e-commerce transactions over 1 billion monthly active users. Despite its challenging workload, with read-modify-write patterns on huge payload and strict read latency SLAs, mParticle achieves breakneck throughput and low latency without compromising on global database availability.
