Montreal, Canada
Percona is thrilled to participate in ConFoo Montreal 2024 on February 21-23, 2024. Speakers from Percona will present 4 sessions:
- AI for SQL and Data Analytics – Current State and Future by Peter Zaitsev (Founder, Percona).
This talk delves into the present and future of AI in SQL and data analytics. It shows how AI boosts SQL-based analytics for quicker, more precise insights. We’ll tackle challenges like data quality, interpretability, and privacy, exploring ongoing research in explainable AI and privacy preservation. Future advances involve automated query optimization, smart data visualization, and integration with emerging database architectures.
- Cloud of Serfdom vs Cloud of Freedom by Peter Zaitsev (Founder, Percona).
The Cloud and Open Source relationship is intricate! In this talk, we’ll explore how Cloud impacted Open Source over the years, the current state, and advocate for using Cloud as a Commodity Infrastructure Provider for Open Source Software. Consider Kubernetes as your go-to API, available across major cloud providers and private vendors. Though less mature than proprietary options, this ecosystem evolves quickly to meet various needs.
- A Survey of MySQL Indexes by Dave Stokes (Technical Evangelist, Percona).
Nobody complains when the database is quick. But when things slow down you try to speed things up by adding an index. Later you try a second index and now things are slower than ever. Indexes can make things faster but you need to know what type of index to use, how to test query performance, and how to maintain them. This session will cover when and how to add an index plus detail how to test their performance.
- PostgreSQL for MySQL DBAs by Dave Stokes (Technical Evangelist, Percona).
MySQL might be the most popular database on the internet but PostgreSQL is the only top database in the DB Engine Rankings gaining market share. The good news is that if you know MySQL then you have a good base from which to explore PostgreSQL. We will start with a simple installation, account creation, loading data, and some simple queries. Then we will explore the very cool differences and how to exploit them. Expand your skills in this talk!
