Piet is a Database Consultant and DBA.

He is in IT since 1987, and specialises in Oracle-, Postgres- and Databases-related technology since 1994. He combines conceptual knowledge and technical know-how with working-experience in small and large organisations, both local and international.

He also invests a lot of effort in maintaining a network of Like-Minded database-specialists worldwide and is a regular speaker at international user group events and symposia.

Piet likes to Travel, preferably by motorcycle, speaks various languages more or less acceptably, and is alway interested in learning how to say “Dober Dan” and “Hvala” in a few more languages (provided he can learn it on site).

During Contech2024, Piet de Visser will present Serverless and distributed databases, What to Expect

Serverless and distributed databases, What to Expect

The next trend (hype?) seems to be : Clustered, serveless, distributed, sharded, replicated, databases.
That is a lot of buzzwords together, and I have ommitted “multi-cloud”, “raft” and “vector”.
We’ll try to find out how various vendors interpret those (buzz)words and how/when these are useful
We’ll explore what users, administrators and application-programmers can expect when data is stored in one of those “new and shiny” databases.
And then, when your boss tells you to “Use This”, maybe you know what to watch out for.
In the end your aim is probably to keep your data Safe and Available.
