The principles behind building a great database, and the new frontiers shaping the field.
ClickHouse creator Alexey Milovidov shares the principles behind building a great database: the right algorithm for the right context, obsessing over details, designing for real production workloads, and testing at extreme scale (1 quadrillion rows, 360 years of CI machine time a year).
He closes on the new frontiers reshaping the field: agentic analytics, semistructured data, and AI SRE.
