Yugabyte, a prominent player in the realm of distributed PostgreSQL databases tailored for cloud-native applications, has officially opened registration for its sixth annual Distributed SQL Summit (DSS 2024). Scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, at 10:00 am MST, this hybrid event is set to become a pivotal gathering for the distributed SQL community.
Event Highlights
The summit serves as a dynamic platform for Yugabyte customers, partners, and industry thought leaders to engage in meaningful discussions about the current landscape of distributed transactional databases. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore how distributed SQL can streamline complexity and foster a modern data ecosystem. This event is particularly beneficial for data architects, developers, and database practitioners from both corporate and open-source backgrounds.
This year’s theme, “Postgres Without Limits,” emphasizes the transformative potential of database modernization. The agenda will spotlight the advantages of adopting a cloud-native, PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database for the development and enhancement of critical applications.
Kicking off the event, Karthik Ranganathan, co-founder and co-CEO of Yugabyte, will deliver the opening session titled “Harnessing Cloud Native Power with PostgreSQL.” In this session, he will outline the company’s vision and roadmap for PostgreSQL compatibility, a concept introduced last year, while unveiling new features and functionalities of YugabyteDB, the flagship Postgres-compatible distributed database.
Additionally, Jake Roersma, Senior Vice President of Platform Engineering at Netskope, will present a customer keynote focused on constructing essential data infrastructure for modern cloud-native cybersecurity. The summit will also feature insights from technology leaders and database practitioners from organizations such as Rakuten and ComplyAdvantage. These experts will share real-world case studies and delve into various topics, including the development of resilient electronic health records and the creation of data and AI platforms for next-generation telecommunications.
Engagement and Learning Opportunities
The Distributed SQL Summit was conceived as an industry event crafted by engineers for engineers. Participants can look forward to engaging technical sessions, live demonstrations, and hands-on workshops designed to explore diverse use cases, technologies, and best practices associated with distributed databases.
As Karthik Ranganathan aptly stated, “As Yugabyte continues to deliver on its vision for distributed PostgreSQL, we’re thrilled to bring together the brightest minds in the industry to discuss the future of distributed SQL. This summit will provide a platform for database professionals, developers, and architects to learn from each other and explore the innovations driving the next wave of cloud-native, scalable, and resilient databases. We look forward to insightful discussions, knowledge sharing, and community building at DSS 2024.”
