Presentation: "Deconstructing the Database"Time: Thursday 16:10 - 17:00 Location: Grand Ballroom A
Abstract:
What happens when you deconstruct the traditional monolithic database - separating transaction processing, storage and query into independent cooperating services? Coupled with a data model based around atomic facts and awareness of time, you get a significantly different set of capabilities and tradeoffs. This talk with discuss how these ideas play out in the design and architecture of Datomic, a new database. |
