NoSQL Demystified
Doug Judd, CEO, Hypertable Inc
5.10.2010 11.30-14.00 Restaurant Falcone, Birmensdorferstrasse 150, Zürich
Doug Judd, the original creator of Hypertable, one of the leading scalable NoSQL databases, will be presenting an overview of NoSQL. The talk will begin with a historical background of the NoSQL movement, an explanation of why it emerged and what NoSQL databases have to offer over traditional SQL-based relational database technology. Definitions will be given for the common terminology that describes the architectural categories in which many NoSQL databases belong (e.g. key/value store, column-oriented, auto sharding). The presentation will end with a description of some prominent NoSQL databases, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in relation to one another:
- Hypertable
- HBase
- Cassandra
- MongoDB
- CouchDB
- Neo4j
- Riak
- Redis
- Membase
