PostgreSQL's materialized views are a great tool to provide low-latency answers to complex queries – but did you know they could offer serializable consistency if you used cutting-edge streaming engines, many millions of dollars, and countless hours of work from talented systems engineers and academics? Oh, and I guess you could then also join them with arbitrarily complex queries over Kafka topics… In this talk, we'll take a look...

Join the NDIA Cybersecurity Division for a briefing on Cybersecurity and the Role of FISA Section 702. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was set to expire (“sunset”) at the end of this year; however, Congress will likely authorize a short-term extension until April 19, 2024.
