Paul Dix | INFLUXDATA PLATFORM FUTURE AND VISION
Paul will outline his vision around the platform and give the latest updates on IFQL ( a new query language), the decoupling of query and storage, the impact of hybrid cloud environments on architecture, cardinality, and discuss the technical directions of the platform. This talk will walk through the vision and architecture with demonstrations of working prototypes of the projects.
Colin Breck | FROM A TIME-SERIES DATABASE TO A KEY OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ENTERPRISE
It is important for a time-series database to provide efficient storage, aggregation, and query of time-series data. Elevating a time-series database to a core operational technology of the enterprise, however, involves so much more. In this talk, I will explore important considerations that take a time-series database from being just another data-store, to a critical infrastructure for operational intelligence.
Ryan Betts | INFLUXDB INTERNALS
Ryan will expand on his popular blog series and drill down into the internals of the database. Ryan will discuss optimizing query performance, best indexing schemes, how to manage clustering (including meta and data nodes), the impact of IFQL on the database, the impact of cardinality on performance, TSI, and other internals that will help you architect better solutions around InfluxDB.
Tom Wilkie | THE RED METHOD: HOW TO INSTRUMENT YOUR SERVICES

An Introduction to Java's ThreadLocal Storage
As its name suggests, a single instance of ThreadLocal can store different values for each thread independently. Therefore, the value stored in a ThreadLocal instance is specific (local) to the current running thread. Any other code logic running on the same thread will see the same value, but not the values set on the same instance by other threads. There are exceptions, though, like InhertiableThreadLocal, which inherits parent threads’ values by default.
