Arpit Bhayani Databases Were Not Designed For ThisDescription Databases were not designed for agents. They were built around a set of implicit assumptions: callers issue predictable queries, connections are short-lived, bad queries fail loudly, and schemas are a contract with engineers. Agentic systems break every one of these assumptions. Agents reason their way to queries, hold connections while an LLM thinks, retry operations unpredictably, a… more

Varuni Rethinking Data Systems for the Age of LLMsIntroduction Over the past few years, the center of gravity in data systems has begun to shift. While traditional database workloads were dominated by deterministic transactions and analytical queries, both industry and academic evidence now point to a rapid rise in AI-driven, token-based workload. Analysts estimate that 80% of enterprise data is unstructured, yet historically underutilized. Toda… more

sarthak makhija Fast on Paper, Slow in Reality: What We Got Wrong About PerformanceDescription In distributed systems engineering, a design that is “correct on paper” is only the beginning; the real challenge is making it “fast in reality.” This session offers a transparent post-mortem of the architectural assumptions we made while building a distributed key-value store from scratch in Go, and why several of those assumptions collapsed under production-grade pressure. We’ll mov… more

Mihai Budiu Presenter Incremental ComputationIncremental computations repeatedly evaluate a function on some input values that are “changing”. The goal of an efficient implementation is to “reuse” previously computed results: when presented with a new change to the input, an incremental computation should only perform work proportional to the size of the changes of the input, rather than to the size of the entire dataset. more

Vaibhaw Pandey Beyond Polling: Building an Event-Driven State Engine for Multi-Cluster Database Control PlanesDescription You run a database control plane that manages PostgreSQL clusters across dozens of remote Kubernetes environments. You need your internal state to reflect reality — which pods are running, which clusters are healthy, which replicas just failed over. The naive approach is obvious: poll every cluster’s API server every 30 seconds and diff the result against your metadata store. We proto… more

Shomik Ghose Rolling Your Own Database (Safely!): Property-based Testing at ScaleDescription There are real advantages to building a specialized database: better performance, less impedance mismatch, and lower operational cost. But the conventional wisdom against rolling your own exists for a reason. ACID is hard, and general-purpose systems are reliable precisely because they’ve been battle-hardened over decades. That calculus has recently changed - cheap object storage and … more
