Scaling Databases

Scaling from first principles

About the session:

More than 90% of the bottlenecks in modern applications are attributed to databases. Very often, performance and scaling issues come from poorly designed databases.

  • How do you decide which database engine to use - RDBS or NoSQL database?
  • How do you make sure your application scales well with the current database engine?
  • How to identify bottlenecks in the database layer?
  • Is there a first principles approach to think about databases?

Welcome to the fifth episode of “Scaling from the first principles” series. In this episode, we have Swanand Pagnis, Srihari Sriraman and Nivedita Priyadarshini bringing deep expertise on designing database-driven large-scale applications and scaling them.
