We had a great time at the 34th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, also known as ER2015, running a demo station of the online Anchor modeler, standing in for Hans Hultgren and presenting Ensemble Modeling, participating in a panel discussion on Big Data, and presenting our own paper “Big Data Normalization for Massively Parallel Processing Databases” at MoBiD.
Here are some photos of Nikolay Golov presenting our paper. He had a very interesting story to tell of how Anchor has helped Avito scale out their data warehouse as the both the business and requirements grew very rapidly, multiplying the number of sources, rows, and terabytes with a factor of ten over three years.
