The evolution of data management techniques
Gabor Szarnyas

Data management systems have gone through significant changes in the last 10 years, driven by user demands, novel techniques and improvements in hardware. These have far-reaching implications on how systems are deployed and used in practice.

In this talk, I will focus on three key aspects of modern data management systems: scalability, mutability, and interface. I will share my personal experiences, and will bring several examples from the database and data science worlds.
