Monthly Java Meetup: Domain driven design, NoSQL and multi-model databases

Domain Driven Design is a software development process that focuses on finding a common language for the involved parties. Relational databases have their own language and influence the design of software into a direction further away from the Domain. Two kinds of NoSQL databases are changing that: Document stores and graph databases.

In this month's presentation, Max Neunhöffer will look at the way a multi-model database that combines a document store and a graph database can help model problems in a way that is understandable for all parties involved, and explain the benefits of this approach for the software development process.

Max Neunhöffer is a mathematician turned database developer. He
has worked for 16 years on the development and implementation of new algorithms in computer algebra, mainly for the open source system GAP. During this time he has juggled a lot with mathematical "big data" like group orbits containing trillions of points. Recently he has returned from St Andrews in Scotland to Germany, has shifted his focus to NoSQL databases and now helps to develop ArangoDB.
