I gave an invited keynote at Citus Con 2023, the PostgreSQL conference. Below is the abstract, video, slides and links from the presentation.
Civic data is more abundant than ever, with local and national governments around the world publishing rich data to open data portals. Every organization has untapped data about their business, and every individual has untapped data about their personal activity. This data is measured in megabytes, not terabytes. What’s missing are the tools that help people understand small data: too big for Excel, but not so big that it demands a Big Data warehouse.
Datasette is built on SQLite. Why SQLite? It’s tiny, fast, and ubiquitous—and supports a workflow where databases can be created, shared, and even discarded with ease.
Through the lens of Datasette and SQLite, Simon explores this problem space and asks how the PostgreSQL ecosystem can evolve to address the fascinating opportunities presented by Small Data.
