What MySQL can learn from PostgreSQL
2 likes974 views
This document summarizes some key differences between the MySQL and PostgreSQL open source database communities and projects. It notes that the PostgreSQL community is more active and advocate-driven, organizing numerous conferences each year. In contrast, MySQL AB (now Sun) focuses more on promoting their proprietary features and does not actively engage or advocate for the community. The document also discusses PostgreSQL's more conservative release schedule versus MySQL's tendency to add new features to stable releases, and argues that PostgreSQL prioritizes correctness, maintainability and stability over rapid feature additions.

The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdf
The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdfAlyona Owens Hi, I’m Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as I’ve transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs… We’ll talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is “Fifth Element”. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and I’m impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldn’t be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we don’t know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didn’t steal jobs—they transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.

Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and Sweco
Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when you’re expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts – all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results – streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FME’s AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.

EIS-Webinar-Engineering-Retail-Infrastructure-06-16-2025.pdfEarley Information Science As AI reshapes expectations in retail and B2B commerce, organizations are recognizing a critical reality: meaningful AI outcomes depend on well-structured, adaptable infrastructure. In this session, Seth Earley is joined by Phil Ryan - AI strategist, search technologist, and founder of Glass Leopard Technologies - for a candid conversation on what it truly means to engineer systems for scale, agility, and intelligence.
Phil draws on more than two decades of experience leading search and AI initiatives for enterprise organizations. Together, he and Seth explore the challenges businesses face when legacy architectures limit personalization, agility, and real-time decisioning - and what needs to change to support agentic technologies and next-best-action capabilities.
Key themes from the webinar include:
Composability as a prerequisite for AI - Why modular, loosely coupled systems are essential for adapting to rapid innovation and evolving business needs
Search and relevance as foundational to AI - How techniques honed-in enterprise search have laid the groundwork for more responsive and intelligent customer experiences
From MDM and CDP to agentic systems - How data platforms are evolving to support richer customer context and dynamic orchestration
Engineering for business alignment - Why successful AI programs require architectural decisions grounded in measurable outcomes
The conversation is practical and forward-looking, connecting deep technical understanding with real-world business needs. Whether you’re modernizing your commerce stack or exploring how AI can enhance product discovery, personalization, or customer journeys, this session provides a clear-eyed view of the capabilities, constraints, and priorities that matter most.
