No SQL databases are all the rage lately. Been experimenting with
Cassandra myself and became
very interested in the theories and ideas behind this class of
databases. Oh, more infomation you say?
- Brewer’s CAP
theorom -
just read it.
- Amazon’s
Dynamo
which is one of the first widely publicized instances of a no sql
databse being used in a large production environment.
- NoSql Landscape
(part 1) -
a good summary of the current landscape. Lots of projects making
lots of headway. It sure is fun to watch.
It might hurt your brain, but it’s good for what ails ya.
