🌉 The Great OLTP–OLAP Convergence

The convergence of OLTP and OLAP is a generational architectural shift, not a niche trend. As organizations push toward real-time analytics, AI, and operational intelligence, transactional and analytical workloads increasingly need to work together. But there is no single path forward. Hybrid architectures, open table formats, CDC, purpose-built systems, and new database paradigms each offer different approaches, strengths, and tradeoffs.

OLTP and OLAP are colliding, and nobody agrees on the right way to build for it. We got the people actually shipping these systems into one room to argue it out.

Who's talking

Andy Pavlo (CMU) — closing out the day with a live, unscripted AMA. Bring your hardest questions.

Nikita Shamgunov (Neon) + Paul Copplestone (Supabase) — "The Convergence Debate," a fireside panel on where OLTP/OLAP is headed

Hannes Mühleisen (DuckDB) — more to be announced

Plus practitioner talks from teams who've actually shipped this in production (CFP open now)
