Keynote Sessions

Session Title & Speakers		Description
DAY 1
Welcome Peter Zaitsev, CEO of Percona
"Transcending database tuning problems: How machine learning helps DBAs play more ping pong" Chad Jones, Chief Strategy Officer, Deep Information Sciences		Machine learning enables businesses to gain competitive advantage through predictive analytics. But if we look deeper into the data stack, we find the need for the same predictive capabilities for MySQL tuning. With over 1,013 possible tuning permutations, some requiring reboots or a rebuild, DBAs spend too much time on MySQL tuning for a point-in-time situation that changes constantly. This session will show how unsupervised machine learning based on resource, workload and information modeling can predictively and continuously tune databases.
