Survey of High Performance NoSQL Systems

Peter Corless, Director of Technical Advocacy, ScyllaDB

Learn the current state of the NoSQL landscape and discover the different data models within it. From document stores and key value databases to graph and Wide Column. Then you’ll learn why wide column databases are the most appropriate for scalable high performance use cases, including capabilities for massive scale-out architecture, peer-to-peer clustering to avoid bottlenecking and built-in multi-datacenter replication.

Modeling Data and Queries for Wide Column NoSQL

Allan Mason, Lead Database Consultant, Pythian

Discover how to model data for wide column databases such as ScyllaDB and Apache Cassandra. Contrast the differerence from traditional RDBMS data modeling, going from a normalized “schema first” design to a denormalized “query first” design. Plus how to use advanced features like secondary indexes and materialized views to use the same base table to get the answers you need.

Scaling for Performance

Felipe Cardeneti Mendes, Solutions Architect at ScyllaDB

Take advantage of ScyllaDB’s wide column NoSQL features such as workload prioritization to balance the needs of OLTP and OLAP in the same cluster. Plus learn about the different compaction strategies and which one would be right for your workload. With additional insights on properly sizing your database and using open source tools for observability.

Roundtable Panel Discussion

Join our three speakers, Allan Mason from Pythian, and ScyllaDB's Peter Corless and Felipe Cardeneti Mendes, for a lively conversation on the current state of the NoSQL database industry and the state of the art in wide column databases in particular. They will compare notes on their three sessions and answer live questions from the audience.
