The Incredible Bulk [Mode]

Since the beginning, the unusual schema-less data handling approach FME was built around allowed users astonishing problem solving flexibility. But there was a price to pay for this limber approach, both in memory usage and performance. As data volumes increased, this price began to be more and more painful. Enter Bulk Mode, a parallel data architecture implemented seamlessly throughout the FME core that is specifically tuned for large amounts of similarly structured data. This talk will review the evolution of this revolutionary approach, and reflect on its rollout that has spanned the past 7 years. Stay to the end to learn exactly where the rollout is today, and what the plans are for FME 2023 and beyond.
