Yuan Ren, Head of Data Science, mParticle

A Database Month event http://www.DBMonth.com/database/performance

In this tech talk, Yuan Ren, Head of Data Science at mParticle, will show you how to design a high throughput & low latency NoSQL deployment.

In this fun-filled presentation you will learn:

How to stop worrying about mix workloads, read-modify-write, compaction & tuning

Why we switched from Apache Cassandra to ScyllaDB, an open source database that is fully compatible with Apache Cassandra

How to more effectively utilize high capacity Amazon Web Services (AWS) hardware, including the 64 vcpu, 15TB NVMe i3.16xl instances to run a 100TB dataset with just 10 nodes

mParticle captures more than $5 billion in e-commerce transactions over 1 billion monthly active users. Despite its challenging workload, with read-modify-write patterns on huge payload & strict read latency SLAs, mParticle achieves breakneck throughput & low latency without compromising on global database availability.
