Zen Core database for Android and iOS: Enterprise-grade data management without enterprise-grade complexity or support requirements

Desmond Tan

Senior Director Zen EngineeringActian

4

▪ Over 1 million iOS and Android apps

▪ 10 million developers by 2020

▪ 17% growth in developer rolls by 2025

▪ 3 widely adopted platforms (Android, iOS, Linux) set stage for openness

▪ Flat files and limited DB platforms e.g. SQLite

▪ Lack of client server models

▪ Limited cross platform support

▪ Security mandates getting out in front of solutions

Friends don’t let friends use flat files for critical data management

▪ Lack of data portability generates ETL headaches

▪ No single API portability across multiple programming languages– Data collection and management (NoSQL)– Query and reporting (SQL)

▪ Data integrity can suffer– Data inconsistencies– File corruption– Fragmentation

▪ You’re reinventing the wheel …– Indexing, filtering, basic SQL functionality from scratch– Metadata management– Client-server or web synchronization– Long-term support for your wheel

▪ Bolt-on instead of built-in security

▪ Mix and match external tools across platforms– Reporting engine– Deduplication– Replication– Auditing– Defragmentation
