When Software Becomes a System: The Architecture Behind VAST 5.4

from Shared Everything Hosted by Nicole Hemsoth Prickett, Jeff Denworth

In this episode Nicole talks to Jeff Denworth, Co-Founder of VAST Data, about the deep architectural shifts behind the 5.4 release, delving into how a new distributed runtime, native vector database, and event-driven compute layer transform VAST from a storage platform into a fully programmable AI operating system. Jeff explains how real-time vector inserts, parallelism without inter-node communication, and disaggregated shared-everything design make it possible to reason over data as it arrives, powering applications from Smart City analytics to trillion-scale AI pipelines.
