[Andy at Sea] Lakebases, Lakehouses, and LTAP: Unifying Transactions and Analytics on Open Storage
Speaker:
Ippokratis Pandis
System:
Databricks

Traditionally, data architectures maintain a strict division between high-throughput operational databases and large-scale analytical lakehouses. The general wisdom for organizations seeking low-latency real-time analytics is to copy data into dedicated serving layers, which creates data redundancy, stale insights, and fragmented governance. In this talk, we explore how unifying operational and analytical workloads on open storage eliminates the need to copy... Read More

[Andy at Sea] Unifying Postgres and ClickHouse Natively
Speaker:
Sai Srirampur
System:
ClickHouse

PostgreSQL and ClickHouse are two of the most popular open-source databases, powering transactional and analytical workloads across thousands of mission-critical applications. But what does it take to bring these two fundamentally different database systems together? In this talk, we’ll explore what we’re seeing in the field as customers increasingly look to bring OLTP and OLAP closer together, the challenges they... Read More

[Andy at Sea] Database for Visual Data and Robot Sensors: Beyond Vector Search, RAG and Timeseries
Speakers:
Jay Chia , Rohit Kulshreshtha
System:
Daft

Robotics produces high-volume time series alongside video and lidar, with different sampling rates, large payloads, and expensive GPU-based feature computation. These workloads shape the storage and featurization systems we are building at Eventual for pretraining-scale video/sensor data curation. We’ll show how standard open-source building blocks—Apache Iceberg, Parquet, object storage, and MP4—combine with careful database engineering to support these workloads at... Read More
