CTOcastSlava Akhmechet (RethinkDB) - CTOcast #17 [RUSSIAN]Слава родился в Украине, но 13 лет (в 1996-м) вместе с родителями переехал в США. С 2004 по 2005 был разработчиком в компании Instinet, затем до 2007 года — в MarketAxess. В обеих компаниях занимался финансовыми приложениями. В 2009 году Слава стал сооснователем документо-ориентированной базы данных с открытым исходным кодом RethinkDB. Изначально она позиционировалась как база данных, оптимизированная под работу на SSD-накопителях. Сейчас же RethinkDB технически оптимизирована под работу с real-time приложениями. RethinkDB — база данных оптимизированная для real-time: концепция, детали, конкуренты и клиенты. Open Source — работа с комьюнити, способы монетизации, принятие решений. Нужен ли продуктовый менеджер? Будущее баз данных: real-time web, full stack решения. Управление инженерными командами. Гипотеза эффективного рынка в приложении к ИT-компаниям.
