NoSQL Evening

Speaker Academy: NoSQL NoSQL, concepts and applied cases

Apache Cassandra Apache Cassandra is a distributed, sparse database with a permeable schema. Its design without individual points of failure and the client-side configuration of the desired consistency level during read and write operations allow excellent linear scalability with very good fault tolerance. Apache Cassandra is very well suited for massive quantities of data and large write volumes. In this presentation we will explore Cassandra’s architecture and the theory it derives from, illustrated with concrete examples. We will also dive into its evolution, particularly the new features coming with the latest version 1.2.

MongoDB Katia will tell us how her team chose MongoDB (the intellectual journey, getting started, document design). She will also talk to us about APIs around Java, the driver, etc. at a lower level.
