Speakers discussed advancements in data warehousing, query optimization, and data pipeline architectures to enhance performance and efficiency in cloud environments. The workshop also addressed challenges in managing data for modern software architectures, such as event-driven microservices, and the complexities of decomposing database systems. Additionally, presentations covered the potential of serverless computing for cost-efficient data processing and the importance of fine-grained access control for data governance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    For this special issue of\n                    <jats:italic>Datenbank-Spektrum<\/jats:italic>\n                    , we asked the speakers of the workshop to extend the abstracts of their talks by, for example, including their opinions on the future of data management systems in the cloud.
