AMS DB Meetup: Distributed Transactional Databases, hosted by TiDB

AMS DB's November meetup is hosted by TiDB (PingCAP) in the Disruption Hall at Epicenter Amsterdam. The theme is distributed, scalable transactional databases. Ian Zhai of TiDB talks about db9, a PostgreSQL-compatible database written in Rust with autonomous AI agents. Mattias Jonsson and Daniël van Eeden of TiDB cover running transactions on an object store. Rohit Nayak, a core Vitess engineer now at PlanetScale, covers sharding PostgreSQL with Neki.

Doors at 18:00, talks from 18:20, food and networking until 21:00. Free, with about 40 spots left when we checked.

Why go: three database builders in one evening, including a core Vitess engineer on sharding Postgres. Best for backend engineers and data infrastructure leads comparing ways to scale.
