Data and Scale with Pat Helland - The long view on distributed databases

Pat Helland has a wealth of knowledge on building distributed data stores. He has been working on distributed data stores since 1978, when he wrote code for the tandem fault-tolerant database. Here is the key thing, he is also a master at explaining the key ideas of distributed systems using simple language and practical everyday examples. Today, Pat sits down with me and teaches me about dealing with data in a distributed, fault tolerant, infinitely scaling world.
