Ruby APIs for NoSQL
summary
Ruby examples show Rails apps using Redis Riak CouchDB MongoDB Cassandra plus S3 and Solr via Sunspot, building a cephalopod social network with a denormalized friend graph in redis gem, uploads to s3 gem, and full‑text indexing with Sunspot/Solr. Rails 3’s Active Model / Active Record split makes swapping the primary store practical; mixing multiple stores per model remains unsolved so code gets split into modules, tests use shared examples, and schema migrations and consistency across stores require ad hoc workarounds.
