Polyglot Persistence & Multi-Model NoSQL Databases - Michael Hackstein

The talk will give a nice overview of the NoSQL Topic, explaining many of the buzzwords

You will leave with some rules of thumb to decide for the right database for your use-case.

You will learn about Multi-Model databases, a rising approach in the NoSQL movement, which combine the good features from NoSQL with the good features from SQL

Subjects:

• NoSQL, covering the most prominent Databases-Types.

• Multi-Model databases as an emerging type

• Everything will be presented in a Stand-up Presentation with a discussion afterwards.

Who should attend:

• Developers of any experience level, they all might be in a situation where they have to decide which databases to use.

• No in-depth database knowledge is required.

• One should know at least basics of SQL.

• The topic is especially interesting for developers who have experienced problems with databases and had to work against the database architecture for their product. This talk will show up some alternatives.

• Undergraduates: Are highly welcome, in my experience most undergraduates only get in contact with SQL and this gives them the chance to learn about something in addition to their studies.
