DESCRIPTION:# Rootconf Topical Edition on Databases\nA practitioner-focuse
 d edition on modern database systems\, bringing production engineers and d
 atabase researchers to examine how modern data systems are actually design
 ed\, scaled\, tested\, and operated in production\, from transactional dat
 abases and control planes to query engines\, distributed correctness\, and
  AI-era workloads.\n\nSubmissions and participation are already in from te
 ams at Microsoft\, Antithesis\, Nutanix and Feldera\, with a [pipeline of 
 strong submissions](https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/database-conf-cfp/) from 
 AWS\, Yugabyte\, CockroachDB\, InMobi\, and Teradata.\n\n---\n\n# Keynote

 5894202bcc2cf4b8f9e840b)\n\n## Database systems: a decade of disruption an
 d innovation by Karthik Ramachandra (Azure SQL at Microsoft)\nOver the las
 t decade\, databases have evolved from tightly controlled on-prem systems 
 into elastic\, cloud-native services operating at planetary scale.\n\n[Thi
 s keynote](https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/special-edition-on-databases/sub/d
 atabase-systems-a-decade-of-disruption-and-innova-D9UgAYtooC2MX2n8XnRrjh) 
 traces the systems innovations that enabled this transformation - from lar
 ge-scale query processing and cloud-native architectures to multi-modal wo
 rkloads\, governance\, and distributed data management.\n\nThe keynote con
 cludes by examining the next wave of challenges and opportunities for data
 bases in the era of AI.\n\n### Key takeaways\n* How database systems evolv
 ed over the last decade\n* Deep systems innovations that reshaped industry
  and academia\n* Open problems and opportunities emerging in the AI era\n\
 n---\n\n# Newly selected talks\n## Rolling Your Own Database (Safely!)\n\n
 ### Property-based testing at scale - Shomik Ghose (Antithesis)\nHow three
  engineers built and validated a production OLAP database using property-b
 ased testing\, deterministic simulation\, and fuzzing\, uncovering correct
 ness bugs that conventional testing would never catch.\n\nTopics include:\
 n* Property-based testing for databases\n* Deterministic simulation\n* Cor
 rectness verification\n* Production-grade OLAP systems\n\n---\n\n## Beyond
  Polling\n### Event-driven multi-cluster database control planes - Vaibhaw
  Pandey and Marko Nikolic (Nutanix)\nA deep dive into designing scalable\,
  event-driven state synchronization for PostgreSQL control planes running 
 across multiple Kubernetes clusters.\n\nThe talk covers:\n* Kubernetes Inf
 ormers at scale\n* Reconnection semantics and drift recovery\n* Leader ele
 ction patterns\n* Multi-cluster state synchronization\n\n---\n\n# Previous
 ly announced highlights\n## Rethinking incremental computation - Mihai Bud
 iu (Feldera)\nA deep dive into Incremental View Maintenance (IVM) and how 
 Feldera applies it to deliver dramatic improvements in query latency and c
 ompute efficiency.\n\n---\n## Why databases were not designed for agents -
  Arpit Bhayani (Razorpay)\nWhen LLM agents start talking to your database\
 , assumptions around queries\, schemas\, and reliability slowly apart.\n\n
 ## Fast on paper\, slow in reality - Sarthak Makhija (Caizin)\nLessons fro
 m building a distributed key-value store and the production bottlenecks th
 at emerge beyond “correct” designs.\n\n---\n\n# Editorial team\nCurate
 d by practitioners building and operating large-scale data systems.\n\n###
