​In this fireside chat, we will combine research and action to bring you the best practices on data management for digital natives. We will discuss sustainability, pricing, the importance of open source and scaling. This fireside chat is brought to you by SlashData and Aiven and features OVHcloud, with the support of the Developer Nation community.

​Topics we will discuss in this fireside chat:

​Open Source
How fast-growing companies:

• ​Gravitate toward fully-managed solutions

• ​Are more likely to adopt open-source search technologies than their counterparts

• ​Are ready to embrace open-source technologies when selecting DBaaS vendors

​Self-hosted vs Managed Services
Who chooses what? We will look at how different types of organisations make this choice and which aspects influence their decisions. Research highlight: Companies with an eye for scaling up are, on average, 16% more likely to use fully-managed services. 

​Pricing
While data model suitability is at the forefront of reasons for adopting data management tools, pricing is often the primary factor when it comes to finding alternative solutions.

​Tech Stack Expansion
56% of respondents are looking to adopt at least one new data management system type in the near future.
