2009 Session: NoSQL: the new generation of agile, scalable, high-performance databases
Thursday, 15:35 - 16:25
Track: Architecture
In these days, databases for huge, rich internet sites is all about making the right trade-off in the CAP theorem, not trying to cling to ACID semantics. Instead of trying to be another one-RDBMS-fits-all, these NoSQL databases typically address one or a few particular scenarios in the best way. We'll compare and contrast the major players of each type. You will take a way a better understanding of what your choices are, and what scenarios each database type is meant to solve.
Expectations
We will give an overview of 4 different types of NoSQL databases: Key-Value, BigTable Clones, Document and Graph databases.
