Session: APIs and community in the composable data ecosystem

Tim Meehan, Software Engineer @ IBM

Tim's session explores the evolution and challenges of composable data systems, emphasizing the disaggregation of traditional data warehouses into specialized components such as storage, compute, ingestion, and query processing.

This shift toward composability, driven by cost, reliability, and performance, has led to new challenges in integration, particularly around APIs, protocols, and community engagement.

Key insights include best practices for fostering adoption, such as using HTTP, adopting modern languages, and maintaining clear governance. The discussion also covers lessons learned from Presto's evolution and speculates on future disaggregation trends, offering a roadmap for navigating this complex landscape.
