Getting multiple entities to work nicely together is a difficult task. This is true for machines as much as it is true for humans. This is why testing and debugging distributed systems is such a hard task. Even if well known algorithms are used, subtle bugs can introduce catastrophic failures. FoundationDB uses deterministic simulation to test these failures. This is... Read More

We all get excited about the next technical capability. In-memory - cool; scalable - even cooler; vector based execution, real-time code generation, etc etc. But do these really tackle the most important problems that will lead the next generation of databases? In this presentation Ori will present FoundationDB - a fault-tolerant, scalable and transactional K/V store, and the languages he... Read More
