TalkPyData: Data Engineering

Description

In the last few years, lots of new database engines have been developed and existing ones have been extended to cover new application spaces and features, making the selection process even more challenging than it was before, if you want to maintain an edge.

The talk will highlight the most important database engines to consider and their strengths when using them with Python applications, covering relational databases for general purpose tasks, data warehouse workloads, data analytics, machine learning, streaming data and massive scalability, to name a few aspects.
