Phil Bernstein (MSR): Adding Data Management to Orleans – A Journey

April 2, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Speaker:
Phil Bernstein
Microsoft Research

Abstract:
I spent eight years adding database features to the Orleans object-oriented programming framework: replication, geo-distribution, transactions, and indexing. The challenge is how to do it when storage is a plug-in service that you don’t control. In this talk, I’ll describe the journey, summarizing the main technical ideas and recounting the ups and downs of a friendly collaboration with a product group. Along the way, I’ll discuss where database system research problems come from and the special challenges of industrial research. You can learn more about Orleans at https://dotnet.github.io/orleans/
