LDAP: the Original "NoSQL"

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Argues LDAP is a battle‑tested NoSQL alternative and demonstrates concrete tooling and outcomes: uses ruby-ldap and net-ldap plus higher-level ActiveLdap and Treequel to map Ruby objects to entries, runs OpenLDAP with HDB backend and syncRepl replication, and monitors CSN consistency. Built systems include Asterisk phone provisioning, auto-generated DHCP/DNS and netboot provisioning, monitoring config generation, and a physical asset inventory. Runs in production across ~2500 hosts with 200–600 concurrent users and 400 temporary contractors and it works.
