TypeDB Lectures

TypeDB brings two foundational and far-reaching advances to modern database technology. First, TypeDB unifies all existing data models in a single universal framework, which is based on two simple but powerful ideas, and which elegantly eliminates the need for managing foreign keys, join tables, or nesting of data. Second, TypeDB's query language, TypeQL, provides intuitive access to the data model by constructing queries as typed patterns, and thereby abolishing the traditional operator-centric view of query languages and allowing users to write complex, nested queries using in a single elegant pattern. In this presentation, Haikal and Christoph discuss these two points in-depth, focusing on the joy of designing principled programming languages, and what the future will hold for TypeDB, its query language TypeQL, and its ecosystem.
