Embracing NoSQL - Your First Cassandra Project

What is Cassandra? What is NoSQL? Why are sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google and Digg all using these new technologies? And what does that mean to me? The popularity of the NoSQL movement has exploded in the last year or two, as a number of these non-traditional data storage systems have gone from experimental curiosities to powerful production-ready engines that power the largest real-time social networking sites on the Web. Born out of Facebook, Cassandra is one of super-hot players in this new movement. We recently had an opportunity to build a new social networking site using it for the first time, and we want to share what we learned. In this presentation: * You will discover the NoSQL movement and the big players who lead it. * You will learn both how and why you should build your site using Cassandra. * You will understand what Cassandra offers, and how it differs from traditional databases as well as other NoSQL competitors like CouchDB and MongoDB. * You will walk through real code examples that can help you bootstrap your own Cassandra project. * You will see where we stumbled along the way, so you can avoid making the same mistakes. Code samples are in Ruby on Rails.
