ABOUT THE TALK
  • ML OPs & Platforms

Object storage platforms like S3 and Azure Blob Storage have transformed data systems, enabling new architectural paradigms. This session explores SlateDB, an embeddable storage engine built in Rust that leverages object storage's unique properties. Attendees will dive into how conditional writes, checkpoints, transactions, and remote compaction can be implemented, discovering insights that extend beyond SlateDB to broader data system design and implementation.
