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 If DataEngBytes Auckland and Brisbane just weren't enough data and AI engineering goodness for you, then be sure not to miss out on our Melbourne and Sydney conferences
