The importance of interoperability and compatibility in database systems

SPEAKER: JONAH H. HARRIS

The meetup has ended

Watch on demand

Abstract:

Database interoperability and compatibility are crucial in today’s cloud-first world. In this session, we’ll discuss how integrating with existing systems and all-in-one cloud offerings (like AI/ML, development, deployment, and storage) drives decisions more than the database itself. We’ll also explore why cloud providers and database vendors focus on API compatibility (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.) rather than building vendor-specific implementations. You’ll see how this interoperability accelerates adoption, boosts productivity, and reduces costs.

We'll explore:

^Why cloud-based tools and integration are top priorities for organizations today

^How standardized APIs are driving faster adoption and increased productivity

^The real-world benefits of interoperability, from cost savings to streamlined workflows

Data visualization difficulties in document databases

Data visualization difficulties in document databases

SPEAKER: Tatiana Krupenya



The meetup has ended

Watch on demand

Abstract:

Showing the data from a document-oriented database is easy, isn’t it? We all love working with document-oriented databases. You can save everything you need there, you don’t need to think about the data structure, and you can view your data at any time as beautiful JSONs. What can go wrong? Actually, nothing if you want to look at only one or two documents. However, it can be tricky when you want to review tens or hundreds of documents simultaneously. At this moment, you may start thinking about how to view them more conveniently.

Modern reality drives the question of visualization documents even to more complicated areas:

What if you need to analyze a set of unstructured documents?
What if your database is not purely document-oriented but also has some relations?
What if your documents have other documents or even collections of documents inside?

The questions are complex, but you can always find workarounds. Let’s review the options and discuss the difficulties together in the talk.

About the Speaker

K.S. Bhaskar

President of YottaDB

Born in the late 1960s, MUMPS (Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multiprogramming System) was the second database technology and tightly coupled a procedural language with a hierarchical key-value database. XML and JSON both map intuitively onto the hierarchical key-value database, known today as M, which is widely used in mission-critical applications like core-banking and electronic health records. YottaDB (https://yottadb.com) tightly couples an M database with multiple programming language APIs and is likely the fastest key-value database on Linux.
