Writes, 3 ways: Postgres, Apache Kafka® and Apache Iceberg™

Short Talk
Learning new things is hard, but a useful way to think about new things is by comparing them to things you already know. In this talk, we'll compare writes between 3 different popular data services: Postgres, Apache Kafka and Apache Iceberg. In doing so, we'll learn a bit about the evolution of how we've thought of data storage as developers.
