Daniel Garrie to Address Database Retention and Legal Hold Obligations at Percona Live 2026 Amsterdam
Daniel Garrie is listed as a featured speaker at Percona Live 2026 Amsterdam, billed as the largest independent open-source database conference (Source). He will deliver a 30-minute session titled "Your Retention Policy Is a Legal Position: Databases, Legal Holds, and What Actually Gets Produced" on September 10, 2026, from 2:00 to 2:30 PM in the Matterhorn 3 track (Source).
The session addresses the litigation consequences of database retention decisions, examining the intersection of database engineering and eDiscovery obligations — specifically, how the policies database teams set today determine what can, and cannot, be produced in court tomorrow (Source). The audience includes database engineers, architects, and technical practitioners who may not otherwise encounter the legal weight their retention configurations carry.
Percona Live Amsterdam convenes open-source database professionals from across the industry for technical sessions, community exchange, and practitioner-focused programming (Source). Garrie's appearance reflects the growing demand for legal and forensic perspective within technical conference programming, where decisions made in database design increasingly surface as dispositive issues in civil litigation and regulatory proceedings.
