Approaching and evaluating NoSQL by Mårten Gustafson.
From the webpage:
Brown bag lunch presentation at TUI / Fritidsresor about approaching and evaluating the NoSQL area. Embedded presentation below, downloadable as PDF and Keynote.
A “brown bag lunch” presentation that balances detail with ideas so listeners will follow it with interesting conversations and research.
The “use case” approach lends itself to exploring “why” someone would want to use a NoSQL database as opposed to the usual mantra that NoSQL databases are flexible, scalable and fast.
So? If my data format is fixed, not all that large (under a few terabytes), and I run batch reports, I may not need a NoSQL database. Could, depends on the facts/use cases. This presentation gets high marks for its “use case” approach.
