Yellowbrick is an elastic SQL data warehouse with a design centered on efficiency, high concurrency and performance. The database management system is composed from a set of Kubernetes-orchestrated containers. Kubernetes provides the single-source-of-truth for system configuration and state, and manages all warehousing lifecycle operations. In this session, I’ll provide an overview of Yellowbrick and its microservices architecture, and focus on the work we’ve done in our query optimizer, workload management system and in the Linux kernel to drive high performance and concurrency.

This talk is part of the Vaccination Database (Booster) Tech Talk Seminar Series.
