FOSS 2025: From Source Code to Source of Truth: 30 Years of Open Source Database Evolution
Alkin Tezuysal speaks at FOSS 2025. The goal is to bring academia, industry, and open communities together around the practical use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in education, research, and business. The event is hosted by Chernihiv Polytechnic National University.
This talk traces the evolution of open source databases over the past three decades—from the early rise of MySQL and PostgreSQL to the NoSQL wave and today’s real-time, AI-driven architectures. We’ll explore the shifting landscape of transactional vs. analytical systems and spotlight ClickHouse as a game-changing columnar engine redefining performance at scale. Learn how community-driven innovation, cloud disruption, and new workloads are shaping the future of open data infrastructure.

Texas Linux Festival 2025 Talk: Magical Mystery Tour: A Roundup of Observability Datastores
Joshua Lee - Open Source Developer Advocate at Altinity, will be speaking at Texas Linux Festival 2025.
Come and enjoy Joshua's talk - Magical Mystery Tour: A Roundup of Observability Datastores.
From plain-old Postgres to the LGTM stack, ELK, Cassandra, and ClickHouse, the landscape of telemetry storage options is as vast as it is overwhelming.
In this talk, Joshua will guide attendees through the foundational principles of telemetry—covering metrics, traces, logs, profiles, and wide events—and break down the strengths and limitations of different database technologies for each use case.

Altinity Event: Real-Time Data Lakes
Real-time databases are integrating with data lakes to reduce storage costs and share data with AI and data science. Please join us to hear from a range of experts as they share current problems and solutions while navigating the transition from closed storage models to open table formats like Apache Iceberg.
Join us in London for an evening with experts from ClickHouse®, AWS, and Snowflake. Learn how to build high-performance real-time data lake systems. Networking to follow presentations. Food and drink provided!

Open Source Analytics Conference 2025: AI-Powered Alert Analysis with ClickHouse Cloud

SeaGL 2025 Talk: What’s a Data Lake and What Does It Mean For My Open Source Analytics Stack?
Our CEO, Robert Hodges, is presenting the talk What’s a Data Lake and What Does It Mean For My Open Source Stack? at the SeaGL 2025 Conference. The 2025 conference will be held November 7-8.
Data lakes on open table formats like Iceberg are a popular way to manage large datasets for analytics, data science, and AI. This talk explains how data lakes work and how to adapt open-source analytic stacks to use them. First, we'll tour projects like Arrow, Iceberg, and Unity Catalog that make data lakes possible. Next, we'll see how analytics engines like DuckDB, ClickHouse, and Spark are adapting. Finally, we'll survey a few projects that enable applications written in Python, Golang, or Rust to deliver fast queries. You'll have to build the app yourself, but this talk will show you a path to use data lakes and open source successfully.
