slides:none on file

A rapid whirlwind claims to survey 17 databases in 33 minutes and actually names implementations and tradeoffs PostgreSQL with JSON and Hstore and indexing, Redis with Lua scripts powering queues, Cassandra with tunable quorums and eventual consistency, Riak using consistent hashing for automatic rebalancing, Neo4j for relationship-first queries, RethinkDB aiming for correctness then usability, and Hyperdex promising HyperSpace hashing and transactional ops at scale The talk cites 100s of petabytes, shows demos and animated gifs, and reports what practically works and what breaks.
