Title: Why NoSQL Databases and How to Choose One

Summary:

Interactive applications have changed dramatically over the last 15 years, and so have the data management needs of those apps. The amount of unstructured or semi-structured data has exploded and its use has become integral to the value and richness of applications. NoSQL is now increasingly considered a viable alternative to relational databases. Do you understand the options available and the pros and cons of choosing a NoSQL database over relational databases?

In this talk, Dharshan will go over the evolution of NoSQL databases, the variety of NoSQL databases available and dive deeper into the scenarios for which they are best suited.
