Title: NoSQL is fascinating...What is it?

Abstract:
Databases are the center piece of any application large or small. We are often used to the idea of designing a database that is relational i.e. having columns and rows coupled with rules that are often termed as constraints.

How about work with a data store that has no rules and yet it is latent, easier to develop and is highly performant and scalable!!

In this session, Obi will compare and contrast NoSQL with its relational counterpart, spin up Mongo server, manipulate and save some data and more...
