We are in the midst of a database crisis.
Traditional databases have the power of SQL and the reliability of ACID guarantees. But... they don't scale on modern data center architectures.
To mitigate the inadequacies of traditional SQL solutions for use in the Cloud, developers are forced to perform "unnatural acts" to their databases -e.g., buying bigger and bigger hardware, sharding, caching, master/slave replication, clustering and database schema de-normalization. To name just a few.
What about NoSQL databases? They have been designed to scale. But... they put an undue burden on the developer to program into the application the powerful querying features normally found in SQL. Plus, NoSQL software tends to lack ACID guarantees that are commonplace and necessary in today's databases.
In either case, the database becomes a bottleneck to successfully scaling out/in in the cloud without making costly compromises.
This cloud dilemma has forced the need for a complete redesign of database management systems. This need is becoming more pressing as new web-scale apps are developed and existing databases are moved to the cloud.
Attend this session (not a company sales pitch!) to see what a cloud database must be and to understand where SQL is headed. An introductory discussion of the crisis will be followed by a demonstration of the scalability, simplicity and reliability of a true 21st century database! 100% SQL, 100% ACID, 100% elastically scalable.
