OPEN Session: Cisco ThousandEyes’ Year-Long Endeavor to Dismantle a Critical, Decade-Old MSQL Monolith.

Thursday February 13, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST

Shashank Sahni, Cisco, Software Engineering Technical Leader

At Cisco ThousandEyes, we gained valuable insights by breaking down a critical, decade-old MySQL monolith from our early startup days. After attending this session, we hope attendees will leave with the following key takeaways:
- Practical tactics for decomposing a critical MySQL monolith into domain-specific clusters using automation and ensuring minimal downtime.
- Mental models and lessons for project-managing large-scale, cross-team projects with complex interdependencies and a dynamic landscape.
- Strategies for safely splitting cross-domain SQL transactions in yet another critical monolith webapp and implementing platform improvements to identify hidden issues.
- An understanding of and ability to adopt a scalable MySQL schema management strategy.

OPEN Session: 14 Years of Database Evolution in 25 Minutes

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST

CloudNative World Stage

Elliot Scribner, Couchbase, Software Engineer

Couchbase started its life as a merge of two open source projects: CouchDB and Membase. This gave us a distributed key/value store with support for map/reduce querying if the value was a JSON document. As many open source projects it has evolved quite a bit in 14 years. We have added support for new data models, new query capabilities or ways of replicating data from cloud to cloud or to the edge. In this 25 minutes we will chronologically go through some of its features, see how sometimes they replaced old ones, or how they enabled new use cases.
