Bryan Cantrill is a software engineer who has spent a quarter of a century at the hardware/software interface. He is the co-founder and CTO of Oxide Computer Company, which is endeavoring to build a rack-scale computer for the post-cloud era. Prior to Oxide he spent nearly a decade at Joyent, a cloud computing pioneer; prior to Joyent, he spent fourteen years at Sun Microsystems, a now-defunct computer company that Bryan's nine-year-old daughter apparently thought was a brewery.
Liz Rice is Chief Open Source Officer with eBPF specialists Isovalent, creators of the Cilium cloud-native networking, security, and observability project. She was Chair of the CNCF's Technical Oversight Committee in 2019-2022, and Co-Chair of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in 2018. She is also the author of Container Security, published by O'Reilly. She has a wealth of software development, team, and product management experience from working on network protocols and distributed systems, and in digital technology sectors such as VOD, music, and VoIP. When not writing code, or talking about it, Liz loves riding bikes in places with better weather than her native London, competing in virtual races on Zwift, and making music under the pseudonym Insider Nine.
Kerry Osborne is a database performance specialist. He is a founder of Enkitec; an expert model Oracle-focused consulting company that was acquired by Accenture in 2014 (now the Accenture Enkitec Group). He is also a founder of Gluent, a software company which provided transparent connections between many analytic engines (Oracle, Microsoft SQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Hadoop, Synapse, …) Gluent’s IP was acquired by Google in 2022 and the team joined Google to form a specialized group of databases experts (Database Black Belts) that focus on helping enterprise customers and improving Google’s database products by infusing Gluent IP. Kerry has co-authored two performance focused books, Pro Oracle SQL and Expert Oracle Exadata.
Glauber is a veteran low-level engineer with a strong focus on performance and resource management. He has worked with a variety of subsystems in the Linux Kernel, most notably the KVM Hypervisor and the cgroups resource management infrastructure that created the foundations of the containers revolution.

Currently he is the Founder & CEO of Turso, where he authored the Glommio asynchronous framework for Rust.
Dr. Stonebraker has been a pioneer of data base research and technology for more than forty years. He was the main architect of the INGRES relational DBMS, and the object- relational DBMS, POSTGRES. These prototypes were developed at the University of California at Berkeley where Stonebraker was a Professor of Computer Science for twenty five years. More recently at M.I.T. he was a co-architect of the Aurora/Borealis stream processing engine, the C-Store column-oriented DBMS, the H-Store transaction processing engine, the SciDB array DBMS, and the Data Tamer data curation system. Presently he serves as Chief Technology Officer of Paradigm4 and Tamr, Inc. Professor Stonebraker was awarded the ACM System Software Award in 1992 for his work on INGRES. Additionally, he was awarded the first annual SIGMOD Innovation award in 1994, and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1997. He was awarded the IEEE John Von Neumann award in 2005 and the 2014 Turing Award, and is presently an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at M.I.T, where he is co-director of the Intel Science and Technology Center focused on big data.
Cary Millsap spent the 1990s learning a lifetime’s worth of lessons about software performance as a consultant for Oracle Corporation. In his ten years at Oracle, he personally helped over a hundred customers, and he created an elite 85-person team who have helped hundreds more. He left Oracle in 1999 to grow his family, and he has been an entrepreneur ever since. Cary has educated thousands of professionals through his commitment to writing, teaching, and speaking at public events. His books “Tracing Oracle” and “Mastering Oracle Trace Data” help professionals optimize any Oracle-based application. His newest book, “How to Make Things Faster: Lessons in Performance from Technology and Everyday Life,” is for anybody who is curious about performance and how to improve it.
Brian Sletten is a liberal arts-educated software engineer with a focus on forward-leaning technologies. He is the author of the O’Reilly Media book, “WebAssembly: The Definitive Guide.” His experience has spanned many industries including retail, banking, online games, defense, finance, hospitality, and health care. He has a B.S. in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary and lives in Auburn, CA. He focuses on web architecture, resource-oriented computing, social networking, the Semantic Web, data science, 3D graphics, visualization, scalable systems, security consulting, and other technologies of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. He is also a rabid reader, a devoted foodie, and has excellent taste in music. If pressed, he might tell you about his International Pop Recording career.
Tanel Poder is a long-time computer performance geek, working on various complex systems like (Oracle) database clusters, modern Big Data & cloud technologies and anything running on Linux/Unix. He has built and fixed enterprise data systems all around the world, this has also resulted in building a few small-but-very-fun tech companies around better tools and methods. He has two patents in data virtualization space and has realized that this is enough. In addition to his R&D, he occasionally delivers consulting, advisory and training to companies and talks about performance & troubleshooting both at public conferences and his video channels available at his website.
Gunnar Morling is a software engineer and open-source enthusiast by heart. He is leading the Debezium project, a platform for change data capture (CDC).

No surprise, but once again #P99CONF from the #ScyllaDB crew is showing everyone how to do it: this is THE model for what a virtual conference should be! (Importantly: FREE!) Day 1 was terrific; looking forward to kicking off Day 2! https://t.co/PUAM7fkb2E

The second day of #p99conf and #scylladb. One of the best tech conference nowadays. By engineers for engineers.
— Marcin Rusek (@marcin_rusek) October 20, 2022
This is why I loved the @P99CONF format. Talks were pre-recorded, discord chat with the speaker during their talk and live Q/A after. Low stress for everyone - easy to get at missed talks.

Great discussion on which languages are best for coding for speed (@rustlang or @ziglang) by @glcst, @jarredsumner, and @carllerche at #P99CONF #ScyllaDBhttps://t.co/4j0BZSvHyq

That was fun! Great questions from the #p99conf crowd https://t.co/bSRedaDN6x

The terrific work by the @P99CONF crew has me wondering if virtual conferences might be the future: the platform fostered collaboration, the price was right (free!), and (best of all?) the videos are already out! Viz. my talk from this morning: https://t.co/qWKsqt43nq

True before, true this year too.

Good thing that #P99conf talks are available on demand later!#ScyllaDB #rustlang #NoSql #database #AI #SQL #opensource #memes pic.twitter.com/3qLPBc7ckV
I've been told that cognitive biases are a trend in the #P99CONF community.

If you are not there live, you are missing the world's best live chat. I don't think I ever got so many good insights from so many top experts at the same time. https://t.co/P659WTVyjs
There’s no other event like this — a conference for engineers by engineers, where we’ll share novel approaches for solving complex problems efficiently and at speed. Vendor and tool agnostic, this conference will be for a highly technical audience only. Your boss’s boss is not invited.
