Join us for an extraordinary evening celebrating the database innovations that originated at TUM and evolved into cutting-edge industry solutions. This is a special night where we bring together two groundbreaking database projects with deep roots at TUM—HyPer and Umbra. We are beyond excited to host this unique gathering. We can’t wait to dive into the tech behind these impressive systems!
Jan completed his Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD at TUM before co-founding Celerata, the company behind HyPer. Acquired by Tableau in 2016 and later by Salesforce in 2020, Hyper now powers all of Tableau's products. As Head Architect at Salesforce, Jan will take us through Hyper’s incredible transition from an academic project to an enterprise-grade database engine. Expect fascinating insights into the challenges, optimizations, and technical marvels that keep Hyper at the forefront of analytical database performance. We are excited to finally host the Hyper team for this special occasion!
Philipp is another familiar face at the Munich Database Meetup, and we’re thrilled to have him back for this special night! Last year, he co-founded CedarDB with four PhD colleagues, a spinoff built around the Umbra database developed at the TUM database chair. While the topic of his talk is still being finalized, rest assured—it will be packed with fresh insights and bleeding-edge database tech. Stay tuned for updates!
This is a one-of-a-kind event, bringing together two powerhouse TUM database projects in a single night. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or industry professional, expect an evening filled with deep technical discussions, industry insights, and great networking opportunities.
We’ve never had so much TUM database power in one room—so don’t miss it! See you there! 🚀🔥
