Moving to Real-Time Analytics with Venkat Venkataramani, Co-Founder and CEO at Rockset

Hashmap on Tap Ep. 104

“The question to ask, really, is if real-time is so much better than batch, why hasn’t the world already gone real-time?”

- Venkat Venkataramani, Co-Founder and CEO of Rockset

On a recent episode of the Hashmap on Tap podcast, Venkat Venkataramani, Co-Founder and CEO at Rockset, joined host Kelly Kohlleffel over a cup of coffee to discuss real-time analytics and Venkat’s tech journey. Prior to starting Rockset, Venkat spent 8 years with Facebook where he worked on building their online data systems. On tap for Venkat is Madras filter coffee and for Kelly, a decaf espresso.

Rockset is a real-time analytics database company that creates the opportunity for businesses to make decisions based on actual events a company is experiencing as opposed to basing decisions solely on “what-ifs” or only on historical information.

Hear Venkat’s Perspectives On:

• How the idea for Rockset originated
• What does “real-time” mean? How can it change based on use cases, customers, and business needs?
• How Rockset is meant to fit into, as opposed to replace, a data ecosystem
• Other interesting companies that he’s watching closely right now
• Why he’s watching the Reverse ETL market and companies like Census and Hightouch
• The best method for making pizza from scratch (and how an Ooni is a must)
