NoSQL is Dead
NoSQL is Dead
You've probably heard of NoSQL databases. You may have even used a few. What you may not know is that NoSQL, as a term of art, is not helpful in any way. What is helpful, however, are the different techniques, ideologies, and science that underlies the design of individual systems. We'll dig into some popular database commonalities, differences, and why the search for a definition of NoSQL is not one worth making.
Talk objectives: I plan to teach the audience the differences and commonalities amongst many kinds of databases, and hopefully do a little damage to the unhelpful marketing term "NoSQL".
Target audience: Developers and operators who want to know more about their NoSQL choices.
