Everyone is talking about LLMs and GenAI, but no one is talking about the massive data infrastructure strain behind them. If your database bottlenecks, your AI is useless.
The hidden infrastructure costs of the AI boom. How multi-model and highly optimized open-source databases (Postgres, MySQL) are adapting to handle vector workloads alongside traditional data, and how to scale without breaking the bank.
Peter Farkas is a seasoned open source leader with over 15 years of experience building sustainable open source projects and businesses. He currently serves as the CEO of Percona, a global leader in open source database software and services.
Before joining Percona, Peter was the Co-Founder and CEO of FerretDB, the truly open source MongoDB alternative that enables developers to use MongoDB drivers seamlessly with PostgreSQL as the backend.
Peter is a strong advocate for open source solutions, believing that they can drive innovation and sustainable growth on par with-or beyond-proprietary software.
