Episode 397: Pat Helland on Data Management with Microservices

Pat Helland, who has been working on building data management systems since 1978, talks to host Akshay Manchale about Data Management at scale with Microservices. Pat talks about trends in storage and computing, state management, immutable data storage, and idempotent computation. He also talks about various ways to look at data — “inside” vs. “outside,” “prescriptive” vs. “descriptive” data that is “right” and “right now” with some clever real world analogies and examples.
