Speed, scale, query: can NoSQL give us all three?
summary
Claims that a single NoSQL system can deliver low-latency reads, linear scale and ad‑hoc SQL‑like queries; demonstrates Couchbase querying a 33,000‑document travel sample (about 1,968 airports), returning 16 flights for LHR→SFO by unnesting nested JSON. Implements N1QL (SQL++) with prepared statements, global secondary index (GSI) for millisecond responses when indexed, and node specialization for multi‑dimensional scaling. Notes strong‑consistency active/replica model, AP column stores like Cassandra for availability, and real deployments at web scale (billions of docs, production customers).
