The Next 700 Transaction Processing Engines
Summary: OLTP history: from disk I/O through in-memory, multicore, to scalable, concurrent engines. Shifting workloads, DRAM abundance, and changing hardware imply new metrics; the talk sketches directions for the next generation of data-management engines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
