  Traditional general-purpose SQL database have dominated the database market for a long time. But then big data and cloud came along changing the database market dramatically. Next to general-purpose databases the market now consists of more specialized databases, such as analytical, NoSQL, translytical, graph, and GPU-based databases.
  General purpose databases are good at everything, new specialized databases are developed and optimized to excel at a limited set of use cases. Additionally, cloud platforms have made it possible to develop databases that scale almost endlessly and can operate as databases-as-a-service making them highly carefree.
  In this session, the differences between traditional, general-purpose SQL databases and the new generation of databases are explained.
  Answers are given to questions, such as:

  • What are the business advantages of the new databases?
  • What is the difference from a DBA perspective?
  • What are the technical differences?
  • Which internal techniques are used by analytical SQL databases to become more scalable?
  • What does carefree mean?
  • How can they simplify data architectures?

  Some of the new products that will be discussed are:

  • Edge Intelligence
  • Google BigQuery
  • OmniSci
  • RedShift
  • SingleStore
  • SnowflakeDB
  • Starburst
  • Yugabyte
  • and many more

  This session presents an overview of the changes in the database market from a technical perspective, but everyone can learn from this session. The market is discussed from a historical perspective: how did we start and where are we now?
