based-db:

At Once.net, we power some of the biggest live events in the world - most notably the voting system behind the Eurovision Song Contest. This system demands rock-solid reliability, extreme scalability, and resilience under pressure. To meet these requirements, we built our own platform: based.io.

At the core of based.io is a graph database we've developed from scratch over the past five years. It’s engineered for high performance, and currently achieves around 3 million inserts per second - on a single core.

This talk dives into the performance optimization techniques we've used to reach that level. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a production-grade, high-throughput graph database from the ground up.

And as a bonus: expect a sneak preview of the based.io platform.
