YugabyteDB Friday Tech Talks

YFTTs take place weekly on Fridays at 9:30 am – 10 am PT

The aim of the YugabyteDB Friday Tech Talks (YFTT) is to share information and spark conversation about distributed SQL and YugabyteDB. YFTTs give the database community the chance to interact live with the engineers, dev advocates, and solutions architects behind YugabyteDB, along with guest presenters. Topics vary week-to-week, but focus on use cases, product features, and best practices.
