ALT The official #DataEngBytes Melbourne afterparty is at Quarterhouse - The Rooftop, Collins St 🎉 📅 Fri 25 July · conference ticket required dataengbytes.com/2026/melbourne

ALT We're excited to welcome VeloDB as a sponsor of DataEngBytes 2026 Sydney. If you've worked with Apache Doris, VeloDB is the company built around it — founded by the original creators of the project, with over 70% of their team dedicated to R&D. Their pitch is architectural consolidation: a single real-time analytics and search database that handles workloads you'd typically run across multiple specialised systems — columnar analytics, log search, lakehouse queries, and vector retrieval for AI applications. The Apache Doris 4.0 release is worth a look if you haven't already. ByteDance used it to reduce memory for billion-scale vector search from 10TB to 500GB, while improving search relevance from 58% to 94%. The VeloDB team will be at DataEngBytes Sydney (Jul 28–29) — come talk to the engineers who built it.

ALT Early bird tickets are closing at the end of March. If you'd like to save $100 off a full priced ticket, then book in yours today.
