This presentation presents best practices in scaling services on-demand for high volumes of reads and writes, and provide insight on the range of NoSQL and SQL access methods available to developers, specifically covering:

  • Automatic partitioning (sharding) for high scalability
  • On-line scaling of the cluster across commodity hardware
  • SQL and NoSQL interfaces, and what should be used when
  • On-line updating of schema design to accommodate rapidly evolving applications
  • Resources to get started
