Relational databases have long proven their use, but have also shown their limitations; they enforce the use of a schema and they do not scale well  over multiple machines.

NoSQL databases no longer follow the relational data model but instead allow you to use data in a structure which is more in line with the use case. In addition to being designed with scalability in mind.

There are 4 distinct types of NoSQL databases:

• Key/Value
• Column Store
• Document Store
• Graph Databases

This training will provide a theoretical introduction enforced with some practical exercises on the most popular NoSQL databases.

• Redis (key/value)
• Cassandra (column store)
• MongoDB (document store)
• Neo4J (graph database)
