This episode's co-host, Laszlo Balla, and I sat down with Thomas Richter and Luis Caroll to unpack RaptorDB: the new database technology powering ServiceNow’s future. They shared the story from startup roots to acquisition, and explained how Raptor DB delivers faster performance, real-time analytics, and AI-ready scale, all while staying seamless for developers and customers.
Note: There's currently an issue with the platform we use to publish the audio version of our podcasts. This episode will be available there at a later time. My apologies!
