Learn VoltDB - the NewSQL in-memory RDBMS
VoltDB is a NewSQL RDBMS aimed at ultra-high throughput database applications. Its natively partitioned, in-memory architecture allows you to achieve massive transaction throughput at scale on shared nothing commodity infrastructures. VoltDB is used extensively in markets such as financial trading, digital advertising, online gaming and network monitoring, to name a few, and is appropriate for any application that has high throughput OLTP workloads and needs real-time analytics. In this talk, we'll provide an overview of VoltDB's design goals and architecture, then we'll get hands-on by building and running a VoltDB app. The goal of this talk is to help you quickly understand what VoltDB is all about, and what it feels like to build VoltDB applications.
Come learn about VoltDB from the guys who are building it. John Piekos and Ning Shi of VoltDB's engineering team will walk you through a brief set of introductory slides, then they'll jump directly into a database demo so you can experience for yourself what it's like to be in the driver's seat.
