- Title: Keynote: Will the Era of specialized databases be over?
- Language: Spanish or English
- Level: 100
- Topic: Other
- Description:
AWS has always been a strong proponent of “the right tool for the right job”, specially for databases, as the then-CEO Jeff Bezos published in 2018 in his annual letter to shareholders.
As a result of this philosophy, AWS has as of today 11 types of database types (some of them covering multiple technologies/variants).
However, latest trends may be pointing to a weakening of this strategy. Consolidation on a smaller number of database technologies seems to be starting. With a clear protagonist in the crime scene.
AWS Data Hero Álvaro Hernández will try to be the Oracle (no pun intended) that disentangles the future of AWS Databases.
Álvaro is a passionate database and software developer. Founder of OnGres ('ON postGRES'), he has been dedicated to Postgres and R&D in databases for more than two decades.
Álvaro is at heart an open source advocate and developer. He has created software like StackGres, a Platform for running Postgres on Kubernetes or ToroDB (MongoDB on top of Postgres). As a well-known member of the PostgreSQL Community, Álvaro founded the non-profit Fundación PostgreSQL and the Spanish PostgreSQL User Group. He has contributed, among others, the SCRAM authentication library to the Postgres JDBC driver.
You can find him frequently speaking at Postgres, Database, Cloud (becoming an AWS Data Hero in 2019), and Java conferences. In the last 10 years, Álvaro has completed more than 140 tech talks.
