Click to download audio version Blockchain technologies are changing the way
we think about data archival and storage. For instance, most database
systems can only capture the current state of a data set. This means we
must rely on secondary backup systems to ensure historical data can remain
accessible, a stark contrast from what the most basic of blockchains provide out
of the box. Database systems that offer immutability and historical context for
data would be greatly beneficial for companies as it would make internal and
external audits much less costly and time-intensive. We're delighted to bring
you an interview with Flip Filipowski and Brian Platz. Flip is a veteran
entrepreneur whose career spans 50 years, having worked for and founded some of
the world's largest software companies of the 80's and 90's. He is also the CEO
of SilkRoad Equity and a Founding Partner of Tally Capital. Brian's background
includes having founded A List Appart in 1994, which is among the oldest and
most influential web development blogs, and SilkRoad Technologies. Flip and
Brian join us to talk about their new company, Fluree. Their product, FlureeDB,
is a scalable graph database which provides the benefits of blockchain
technologies, such as immutability, replayability and fault tolerance.
Currently, in development, the goal for FlureeDB is to support various consensus
rules based on the network configuration: private systems, federated (or
consortium) clusters, and fully decentralized public networks. Topics discussed
