Olena Borzenko
Olena is working at Xpirit in Germany as a celestial programmer with the main focus on building .Net Cloud Applications. She is passionate about event-driven architecture, clean code, and modern cloud-based application development.
She has previously worked in a service company based in Ukraine and took a part in the creation of various products from small startups, B2B applications, to enterprise platforms. Therefore, to share her gained knowledge, she frequently attends international conferences, user groups, and community meetups as a speaker.
Scaling your data to the size of the Cosmos (DB)
Many systems begin their lives with a relational model at their core - as their database.
But over time, as the needs of users change, the relational model can cause more problems than it solves when building web-scale systems.
In this session, I’ll take you on my journey transforming a traditional SQL database model into a document model using Cosmos DB; a managed schema-less database where data denormalization rids us of joins and complicated queries.
Using a real-world example of a warehouse system, we'll run through creating our new model, along with different ways of materializing data using Change Feeds and Azure Functions.
Come and see how we can use Cosmos DB to get the most out of our software.
From Ukrainian Moonshine to Azure CosmosDB
Every day we are affected by technological progress. Industries gained efficiency and productivity, due to the introduction of technologies with entirely new ways of serving existing needs. Smartphones, tablets, and other devices have become embedded and integrated into our daily lives, making us ever more disconnected from reality.
However, in every society, geography and culture determine the nature of technological development. Therefore, places without computers and the internet still exist, places where you feel like you're back in time for almost a whole century.
Olena Borzenko was born during the “browser wars”, but used to live in a place with many traditions, where the very existence of the internet was alien. She learned how people used to communicate, solve problems, and build their life before the world went online. Join Olena for an insightful look at the difference between these two worlds with an attainment gap of almost a century. We will talk about digital transformation, technological revolutions, and the innovative features of Azure supporting them.
