[¡Databases! 2022] SplinterDB: A Key-Value Store for Modern Storage Devices (Alex Conway)
Speaker:
Alex Conway
System:
SplinterDB
Video:
YouTube

We built SplinterDB to address two trends. The first is the modern storage hardware offers significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency. The second is that modern applications at VMware and elsewhere store fine-grain data, such as metadata. Current state-of-the-art key-value stores such as RocksDB fail to fully exploit the capabilities of these devices on these types of workloads. SplinterDB is... Read More

EdgeDB: Replacing SQL and Improving on the Relational Database Model (Michael Sullivan)
Speaker:
Michael Sullivan
System:
EdgeDB

EdgeDB is a new database built around an evolution of the relational model that we call "graph-relational". In the graph-relational model, data is represented as strongly typed objects containing set-valued scalar properties and links to other objects. Missing values are represented in the language as empty sets (no NULL!), and have consistent semantics. The query language, EdgeQL, supports convenient fetching... Read More
