OOWLON 2020 #cloud #devops #conf #expo in review

Well Oracle Open World London 2020 has finished ! So what were the highlights and lowlights ?

highlights

  • 84 way raspberry pi cluster running oracle unbreakable linux for arm and seti
  • mv2oac
  • epaper codecard
  • $300 + bonus $200 oracle cloud evals
  • blockchain as a service (BAAS)
  • saving the worlds bees one bee at a time (hint dont drink almond milk)
  • mysql cupcakes
  • pwc jellybeans
  • unlimited free illys coffee

lowlight

  • booking dot com STILL use mysql after 15 years !

surely a massive embarrassment to oracle sales since i would have thought the oracle db is fast enough to handle booking 1M hotel nights a day and surely the 'cost' of the the 'unbreakability' of oracle db should be a nobrainer to the booking dot com CTO !

what incentive is there for any startup to even consider oracle db if a dot com is using mysql ? (booking claim to have been operating for over 15 years so how can they claim to be a startup ?)

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE ?
