Over 150 different relational databases are currently ranked by DB-Engines. With so many options, picking the “right” database for your new app can be challenging.

How do you know which new databases to consider, and how can you evaluate which historical database features - from INGRES to Oracle to NoSQL and beyond - are right for this modern cloud-native world?

In this program, join legendary Oracle veteran and Yugabyte co-founder Kannan Muthukkaruppan as he talks through the journey to transactional databases. More than just a history lesson, he’ll share why there are now so many database options, and how each new category of database was built on the foundations of those before.

Finally, he’ll walk through the database evolution that resulted in the fastest-growing database category: Distributed SQL, a database tailor-made for born-in-the-cloud applications.
