NOSQL
Relational databases have been the king of data storage for decades, the "go-to" technology for persisting and processing information in our projects. However, this one-size-fits-all solution does have its limits. Are all your data storage needs best served by relational databases without question? Have you ever had an overly complex relational model and wished there were an alternative solution to meet your data storage needs with a more elegant and simpler design?
This talk looks at a new breed of data storage technologies labeled as "NoSQL" since they do not rely on the same principles as relational databases. We will consider why these came about and what problems they are trying to solve. We will also summarize the various types of NoSQL databases, look at how they are used and talk about some of the risks involved in using them.
