In-memory database with indices from scratch - Hana Dusíková - NDC TechTown 2023

Learn how to build an in-memory database with indices from scratch and discover the power of coroutines with Hana Dusíková's insightful NDC TechTown 2023 talk.

Key takeaways

The speaker introduces the concept of an in-memory database with indices from scratch, using the Hana Dusíková’s NDC TechTown 2023 conference talk as a reference.
The talk covers the basics of coroutines, including the use of promise and perform functions to handle asynchronous tasks.
The speaker explains how coroutines provide a way to write asynchronous code that is easier to read and maintain than using callbacks or threads.
The talk discusses the importance of managing the lifetime of coroutine handles and promises, and the role of the scheduler in managing coroutines.
The speaker also covers the basics of libcurl and its use for downloading resources from the internet.
The talk also touches on the differences between JavaScript and C++ in terms of coroutine usage.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of customizing the coroutine library to fit the needs of the specific use case.
The talk concludes with a review of the concepts covered and a nod to the future developments in coroutine technology.
The speaker also mentions the importance of considering the number of running and blocked tasks in a system, and how this can affect the overall performance and reliability of the system.
The talk also covers the basics of promise and future types, and how they can be used to manage asynchronous tasks.
The speaker mentions that coroutines are not threads, and that they are designed to be lightweight and efficient.
The talk also touches on the use of generators and coroutines in JavaScript, and compares this to the use of coroutines in C++.
The speaker also mentions the importance of handling errors and exceptions in coroutine code, and provides examples of how to do this.
The talk also explains how the scheduler can be used to manage coroutines, including the use of perform and suspend functions.
The speaker also covers the basics of libcurl and its use for downloading resources from the internet.
The talk concludes with a review of the concepts covered and a nod to the future developments in coroutine technology.
The speaker also mentions that coroutines are not the same as threads, and that they are designed to be lightweight and efficient.
