How Best to Build Web-Scale Data Managers? A Panel Discussion

Summary: Panel contrasts web-scale managers with relational DBMSs: scale-out across thousands of commodity machines, high availability, self-management, and reduced functionality. It debates whether abandoning ACID is necessary, why developers prefer these systems, and how classical DBMSs should respond. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
