Basics of Behavioral Data
Actions
Actions & State
Actions & State + Time
Clickstream Logs Sensor Data Financial Transactions IVR
Important Differences In Behavioral Data
Behavioral Data is Historical
Behavioral Data is Isolated
Isolated = Concurrency
Performance / Internals
Aggregates 100M events / sec / core
Optimizations Stored by object then time Memory mapped Easy, compact
data format
Simplicity Supports Int64, Double, String & Bool MessagePack Encoded C99,
No Dependencies
Writing Your Own Language (Tangent)
EQL (Event Query Language)

Qip
Qip (Doesn’t stand for anything)
What is Qip? * LLVM-backed query processing language. * JIT
compiled on the fly. * As fast as C. * Removed from build because of complexity.

Ruby to Sky Integration
Add Event SkyDB.add_event( new Event( object_id:1, timestamp: Time.now, action: “/sign_up”,
data: { name: “John”, age: 20 } ) )
Next Actions SkyDB.next_actions( [ “/”, “/sign_up”, “/checkout” ] )
