A NoSQL guide

What started as a small user group twelve months ago has turned into a world wide movement of developers looking into alternative storage systems that do not necessarily support the standard query language. Most of them come with alternative ways to query databases, usually they focus either on consistency, availability or partition tolerance. This talks tries to give an overview of the existing NoSQL ecosystem - explaining what are the special use cases of each database variant.

After motivating the need for alternative storage mechanisms, the talk classifies the most prominent NoSQL projects according to their properties giving the audience a way to find their way in the dynamic, growing NoSQL universe.
