Help! I Need To UnSQLize My Application
06-13, 14:50–15:30 (Europe/Berlin), Palais Atelier

More and more people are moving from old-school relational databases to a variant of NoSQL. If starting a green-field project with a document database is easy, it can be a different story when migrating from one to the other. Simply porting SQL tables to a collection might cause you more harm than good. In this talk, the attendees will learn about the basic concepts of document databases, such as documents and collections. They will then learn about some of the standard data schemas available. Finally, the speaker will show real-life examples of data migration and how they can be applied to adopt a new NoSQL database.
