Internals of SlateDB: An Embedded Key Value Store Built On Object Storage

Explore the internals of SlateDB, an embeddable storage engine built on object storage, in this 24-minute conference talk from Data Council. Vignesh Chadramohan, Engineering Manager at DoorDash, shares valuable insights from building this Rust-based key-value store, demonstrating how to leverage properties like conditional writes for stream processing and durable execution. Gain practical perspectives on implementing advanced features such as checkpoints, writeable clones, and remote compaction that can benefit anyone working with disaggregated data systems or building applications on S3-like storage. The presentation offers technical architecture details and best practices for developing cutting-edge data storage solutions.
