Presenting From Source Code to Source of Truth: 30 Years of Open Source Database Evolution at All Things Open 2026 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Conference: October 19-20, 2026 · Raleigh Convention Center, Raleigh, NC
This session traces three decades of open source database innovation — from early MySQL and PostgreSQL adoption through NoSQL proliferation, the cloud-native era, and into today’s AI-augmented stack. The talk draws on personal experience across Percona, PlanetScale, Altinity, and now ProxySQL to show how community-driven development shaped modern data infrastructure.
