Polyglot Persistence & Multi-Model NoSQL Databases

Polyglot Persistence & Multi-Model NoSQL Databases

Speaker: Michael Hackstein

In many modern applications the database side is realized using polyglot persistence – store each data format (graphs, documents, etc.) in an appropriate separate database. This approach yields several benefits, databases are optimized for their specific duty, however there are also drawbacks:

• keep all databases in sync

• queries might require data from several databases

• experts needed for all used systems

A multi-model database is not restricted to one data format, but can cope with several of them. In this talk I will present how a multi-model database can be used in a polyglot persistence setup and how it will reduce the effort drastically.
