Hey, guys, this month we've got a guest speaker from Akiban Technologies talking about their new open-source project... Check it out:
Renormalize: When SQL Meets Documents
Have queries that suck? NoSQL document stores are generally considered at the opposing extreme to relational databases. Schema and SQL are perceived to be at the core of the problem. Akiban Server is an open source database that brings document stores and relational databases together. Developers get powerful document access and schema evolution capabilities alongside surprisingly powerful SQL. In this presentation Ori will cover the architecture and operational ideas that underline the Akiban Server, and some really interesting use cases from a number of large SaaS companies [running mysql, whose applications are written in PHP] that are using Akiban.
