The NoSQL Movement: Hype or Hope?

In contrast, most relational database platforms require a lot of modifications to successfully grow in scalability from small to medium to global.  For a good review of such a growth pattern, and the frequent re-designs that explosive growth requires, read the story of MySpace’s evolution as a Microsoft SQL Server shop at http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case_Study_Detail.aspx?CaseStudyID=4000004532.

You can find lots of high-level information about the NoSQL movement at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL and http://nosql-database.org/.

Amazon’s SimpleDB

  • Nat Shalom does not think SimpleDB is a database
  • The key question is who will provide the “database as a service” in the cloud? What we need is an “elastic database as a service” similar to what Amazon does in processing with EC2. One such start-up called ScaleDB (I am an advisor) is attempting to take the RDBMS (open source) features into the cloud with high scalability.
