Debunking “Purpose-built Data Systems”: Enter the Universal Database
Purpose-built databases and platforms have actually created more complexity, effort, and unnecessary reinvention. The status quo is a big mess. TileDB took the opposite approach.
In this presentation, Stavros, the original creator of TileDB, shared the underlying principles of the TileDB universal database built on multi-dimensional arrays.
The webinar covered:
What the entire data management industry missed since the inception of the database
What defines a universal database
How multi-dimensional arrays are the key to building a universal database
The basic architectural decisions behind the TileDB universal database
Why universal databases will eventually subsume data {ware,lake}houses
Other key considerations: marketplaces, extensibility, and future-proofness
Lastly, in order to validate that the universal database is indeed a reality, Stavros walked through diverse use cases spanning LiDAR, SAR, biomedical imaging, genomics, graphs, and, of course, tables.
