Session: Over the past few years, many high profile sites have stopped using
traditional relational databases like SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL,
using alternatives that all fall under the term "NoSQL". This
presentation covers how NoSQL products work differently than RDBMS's
and the differences between the varieties within that designation.
We'll cover the pros and cons of NoSQL vs RDBMS solutions and a few
starting points for where to start experimenting with NoSQL for your
next project.
