DSG Seminar Series • LIquid: Soul of a New Graph Database

Speaker: Scott Meyer, LinkedIn

Abstract: The talk will present LIquid, the graph database which serves what we call the “on-line economic graph.”  LIquid is in full production, serving 1M QPS against a ~10Tb corpus. The first half of the talk defines what a graph database is, ultimately a relational system which satisfies certain constraints. The second half explains how one might go about building such a graph database.

Bio: Scott has had a long and varied career in software development, including graphics, networking, GUI applications, OODBs, a JVM implementation, 3 years spent sailing around the Pacific, and most recently, 15 years working on graph databases at Metaweb, Google, and LinkedIn.
