We're excited to announce that Pixeltable will be at Data Council Oakland, April 22-24, 2025!

Don't miss the talk by our Co-Founder & CTO, Marcel Kornacker:

Introducing Pixeltable: Open Source Data Infrastructure for Multimodal AI#

Marcel, founder of Apache Impala and co-founder of Apache Parquet, will introduce Pixeltable, an open-source solution designed to transform how we build multimodal AI applications. He'll discuss how Pixeltable provides robust, Python-based data infrastructure with a declarative, incremental approach, simplifying complex workflows and overcoming the limitations of traditional systems.

Learn how Pixeltable brings together data, computation, and models into a unified interface, offering automatic versioning, incremental updates, and streamlined pipeline management for ML engineers and data scientists.

We hope to see you there! It's a fantastic opportunity to connect and learn about the latest in data infrastructure. Check out the full Data Council lineup and make sure to add Marcel's talk to your schedule.

Event Details:

Convex Developers' Guide to Pixeltable: Queries, Mutations, Actions, and Where the Mental Models Diverge

If you know Convex (queries, mutations, actions, and reactive subscriptions), this guide maps those primitives onto Pixeltable. We use the help-desk mental model from Database School's Convex course as a parallel walkthrough, with side-by-side code and an honest cheat sheet for full-stack developers building AI-heavy backends.

Databricks LTAP and the HTAP Debate: What AI Developers Should Actually Care About

At DAIS 2026, Databricks announced LTAP to unify OLTP and OLAP on a single lakehouse copy. Under the hood it looks like managed CDC with a new acronym—not classical HTAP. For AI developers, the sharper question is who owns the write path for multimodal data.

Compute Close to Data: What Microsoft's pg_durable Says About Where AI Infrastructure Is Going

Microsoft open-sourced pg_durable, putting durable execution inside PostgreSQL so workflows live next to the data they touch. It is a strong signal that the industry is converging on 'compute close to data.' Pixeltable has been building the multimodal version of that same thesis.
