In the current technology landscape, we have a lot of great innovation happening especially when it comes to Database Technology. A few examples include introducing new data models such as time series or graph, which focus on solving SQL at hyper-scale problem, this has been an elusive solution and scale was becoming synonymous with NoSQL environments. We now have a new Cloud-Native database design coming to market using the power of Kubernetes as well as employing Serverless concepts.

In this presentation, we will look at database technologies changing trends and what is driving them. We will talk about the basic open source databases as well as discuss the cases they fit best. I will compare commercial and open source solutions and will give the information about changes to the Open Source licenses and emerging class of not-quite Open Source Database software.
