TileDB data model

Watch on-demand

Join our webinar on the internal mechanics of TileDB Embedded, TileDB’s array storage engine. Discover the key principles behind the open-spec data format and open-source C++ library, and see how it serves as the foundation for TileDB Cloud, the universal database.

What you will learn

Stavros will present a deep dive into the underpinning principles of the TileDB Embedded storage engine and will review technical examples in Jupyter notebooks to help you get started. You will learn:

  • Why we chose arrays as the foundational data structure of TileDB
  • How dataframes are just a special instance of arrays
  • Data layout, tiling, compression and other filters
  • Dense and sparse array indexing for rapid slicing
  • Data versioning and time traveling
  • Why TileDB is “cloud-optimized”
  • How to achieve unprecedented performance
  • How to use TileDB with your favorite languages and tools
  • Going beyond storage: compute push-down
  • Examples from various application domains
  • How to build a universal database

No prior knowledge of TileDB is required. Please feel free to check out the TileDB Embedded Github repo and docs, as well as join our Slack community. We look forward to your questions!
