Episode 12: Transitioning from a Relational to NoSQL Cloud Database

By Steve Prentice

Relational to NoSQL Cloud Database

Like so many other areas of technology, the database is changing. For a long time we worked with relation databases and SQL, but the demands for flexibility, security and speed are making it clear: legacy databases are not up to the demands of modern applications. Matthew Groves, Product Marketing Manager at Couchbase, discusses database sprawl, the challenges of SQL, the ease of transition from relational to NoSQL, and where to go to learn the code.
