The Right Database for the Right Job w/ Tim Ojo
Details
Does this sound like you? "OMG!! PostreSQL, Neo4j, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, RethinkDB, Cassandra, SQL Server, Riak, InfluxDB, Oracle NoSQL, SQLite, Hive, Couchbase, CouchDB, DynamoDB. I've got an issue with my current database solution or I'm starting a new project and I don't know what to choose!"
If so Tim's talk intends to help you match your data storage needs with suitable solutions from a wide field of contenders. Looking at different data types, structures and interaction patterns, we will try to understand what makes certain data stores better suited than others and how to be a database polyglot.
Tim is a developer at AudiencePoint with an interest in performant scalable code/architectures, messaging, and data analytics.
