Got New Projects? Tired of dealing with a mixture of Flat Files, SQLite, and several backend databases (MongoDB, Couchbase, MS SQL, InfluxDB, etc.) as your toolkit for Mobile, IoT and Edge Data Management?
You are invited to join fellow professionals and your Actian hosts for an online shared Edge Data Management discussion and Pizza. Please join our video Zoom event where we discuss performance, security, integration, and other aspects of data management at the edge led by Actian thought leaders.
Why Attend?
- Network with your Edge and Mid-Stack Developer and Engineering peers and share best practices on Edge Data Management
- Discuss the challenges confronting Mobile and IoT software and systems development around data processing and analytics at the edge
- See a demonstration of Actian Zen, a NoSQL and SQL database embeddable into most programming languages on a wide range of platforms for serverless and client-server edge data management
