Abstract

Consistent data replication across very wide areas or independent data-centres is in high demand - driven by the availability and scaling needed to serve today's global user-base. It is hard, inefficient and costly to solve for SQL platforms and those hosting them. Jumping to eventually consistent NoSQL presents equally big adoption issues. In this talk we describe how a global consistency 'data-fabric' with a MySQL interface joins the query abilities of the world's most widely deployed RDBMS with the capabilities of new NoSQL datastores.

Dr Jack Kreindler is the founder of GenieDB, originally a London based start-up now head-quartered in California. GenieDB was built as an efficient solution to one hardest distributed data problems we still face - providing an immediate consistency, partition intelligent data replication across multiple data-centres. Prior to GenieDB, Jack founded the technology incubator, Blueorange, where the need for a product that combined SQL and schemaless, scaleable datastores became clear, seeing growing pains faced by many innovative enterprise software and web-apps built by Jack and his team over the last decade.
