NoSQL : No More Hype, What Really Works

Which tools are effective for which use cases? How are the support ecosystems? Are the bugs getting fixed? Learn all this and more in this faced paced session.

He draws insights from each stepping stone in his career evolution to factor real world experiences into complete architectural designs. His most recent and favorite area of expertise is big data, and, though it connotes slow and cumbersome, he has engineered flexible data pipelines and data systems supporting transactional and analytical use cases.
