Description

SQL’s slow. SQL’s stupid. We hear these claims every time a new shiny tool enters the market, only to realize five years later when the hype dies down that SQL is actually a good idea. 

In this super techie episode of the Data Engineering Show, Andy Pavlo, Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, joins the bros to delve into database internals and optimization. 

Andy discusses leveraging ML for autonomous database optimization, using Postgres for practical applications, tuning production databases safely, and why SQL is here to stay.
