Presentation: I Have A NoSQL toaster
What You’ll Learn
- Understand the differences and strengths of different NoSQL data store approaches.
- Hear how NoSQL is different than a traditional RDBMS.
- Learn more about what Couchbase offers.
Abstract
NoSQL is a catch-all term that covers a lot of different types of data storage. Is it really helpful to group them together by one thing they don't have? Think about it like this: my toaster is as much NoSQL as any database! So, how can we make more sense of this new breed of database management systems?
In this talk I cover the four main data models that have been part of the past ten years' NoSQL movement: key-value, document, columnar and graph. I explain how they differ and when you might want to use each one.
Interview
Matthew: I am a Developer Advocate with Couchbase. It’s our job to improve awareness of Couchbase, help grow a healthy developer community, create useful content for developers, and get feedback about our software.
Matthew: I have a love/hate relationship with the term “NoSQL”. It describes what something *isn’t*, which is only helpful from a marketing standpoint. Once you dig in, you see that there are a lot of categories and differentiation.
Matthew: Anyone who isn’t familiar with NoSQL databases or is curious about them. Or people who have used 1 or 2 NoSQL databases, but haven’t been exposed to the wider world.
Matthew: It’s definitely oriented to a NoSQL beginner and/or architects who are trying to figure out if there are alternative approaches to data storage that can help them solve problems.
I think that people will walk away with a broader understanding of what NoSQL means. It’s my hope that they will be armed with an idea of what use cases that various NoSQL databases can help with. The only thing worse than not taking advantage of these interesting databases is using them for the wrong thing.
Matthew: I think it will always be change. If you can deal with change, recognize meaningful change, distinguish fads, and respond to new tools and technology in a meaningful and genuine way, then you are going to be successful. If anyone knows how to do that well, please let me know :)
