Paper Reading
Oct31Sat

Serverless Runtime / Database Co-Design with Asynchronous I/O

Time
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM WAT
Location
Online · Discord
Host
Hosted by DBMSEG Project Team

We kick off our current project by reading the paper together: why embedding SQLite in a serverless runtime is so appealing, what stops it from scaling, and how asynchronous bytecode I/O and a decoupled storage engine get around it.

What we will cover

  1. 01Why database round trips hurt at the edge
  2. 02Where SQLite blocks: synchronous I/O in the bytecode engine
  3. 03Asynchronous bytecode instructions for I/O
  4. 04Decoupling the query and storage engines
  5. 05Reading the evaluation: where the 100× comes from
  6. 06Q&A, and how to join the implementation
