Low-Latency Distributed Data Strategies at P99 CONF: SQL, NoSQL & Event Streaming

P99 CONF 2022, an open-source industry conference hosted by ScyllaDB, focused on the intricacies of low-latency data systems and brought together experts to discuss a variety of topics related to SQL, NoSQL, and event streaming. The conference featured sessions on diverse subjects such as query performance optimization, testing Kubernetes storage with Sherlock, and implementing WebAssembly for user-defined functions to maintain low latency. Presentations also covered techniques like using Apache Arrow Flight SQL for database throughput, leveraging OpenTelemetry for measuring latency in event-driven architectures, and employing innovative strategies for performance tuning in distributed databases like TiDB and ScyllaDB. Experts shared insights into optimizing complex data ingestion pipelines, managing the challenges of measuring latency, and adopting new protocols like Apache Iceberg to enhance data lake architectures. The event emphasized understanding and overcoming latency issues, with sessions exploring topics such as the advantages of using C# as a system language and RageDB’s experience with the Seastar framework for fast graph database development.
