The video my talk about the future of relational databases on the cloud at the recent Cloud Computing Conference Greece is now available. The deck of the presentation is online too.

Abstract

The major cloud providers offer different options to run a relational database on the cloud. A recent approach is to rely on so-called serverless databases that offer both traditional TCP connections and HTTP API access. In a short journey to databases on the cloud, we will compare different approaches and services, explore the main benefits and limitations of a serverless RDBMS versus a more traditional managed database.
