The Real Game of Thrones Starring Cardinal Richelieu

Event: Data Field Day 1

Appearance: Ignite Data Field Day 1

Company: Ignite

Video Links:

Personnel: John Troyer

In this Ignite Talk, John Troyer delves into the historical figure of Cardinal Richelieu, often depicted as a villain in popular culture, particularly in Alexander Dumas’ “The Three Musketeers.” Troyer argues that Richelieu, who served as the de facto Prime Minister of France in the 17th century, was a complex character who took drastic measures to stabilize a country plagued by religious wars, noble rebellions, and external conflicts. Despite his ruthless tactics, including dismantling noble castles and suppressing Protestant political power, Richelieu also made significant contributions to French culture and governance, such as supporting the arts, establishing the first theater and weekly newspaper, and expanding French influence in the New World. Troyer concludes that while Richelieu’s methods were harsh, they were necessary for the survival and eventual flourishing of France, making him a hero rather than a villain.


Close Encounters with the Third Kind of Database

Personnel: Gary Orenstein

Gary Orenstein’s Ignite Talk, “Close Encounters with the Third Kind of Database,” addresses the evolution of databases and the need for a new type that merges transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) capabilities. He highlights the inefficiencies and frustrations associated with the traditional ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, which creates a gap between these two types of databases, leaving data scientists bogged down with data cleaning rather than analysis. Orenstein emphasizes the potential of emerging technologies like memory, cloud, and scale-out solutions to enable real-time data processing, eliminating the need for ETL and allowing for dynamic, immediate insights. This new database paradigm promises to be fast, simple, scalable, and capable of integrating with various tools, ultimately transforming how businesses handle and leverage data for real-time decision-making and impact.


The Economics of Cloud or Why Amazon is Doomed (Maybe)

Personnel: Justin Warren

In his Ignite Talk, Justin Warren discusses the economic challenges facing Amazon, particularly focusing on the company’s low-margin business model. He explains the basic principles of microeconomics, highlighting the difference between high-margin, low-volume businesses like Apple and low-margin, high-volume businesses like Amazon. Warren points out that Amazon’s profitability heavily relies on AWS, which is costly to maintain and expand. He contrasts Amazon’s financial position with that of competitors like Microsoft, which has substantial cash reserves and higher operating margins, allowing them to invest heavily in their cloud services. Warren suggests that if Amazon cannot improve its margins and generate more cash from its core business, it may struggle to keep up with competitors in the long run.
