Berglund and McCullough on Mastering Cassandra for Architects

This video training session will introduce you to Cassandra NoSQL databases, from drivers to deployment. You'll learn about new data modeling patterns in Cassandra through a series of group exercises. These patterns are important departures from the traditional relational tradition. Find out how Cassandra delivers its promise of horizontal scaling and fault tolerance and how its log-structured subsystem storage subsystem allows it to achieve impressive write/read performance. We'll also discuss common administrative scenarios like adding and removing nodes.

Matthew McCullough, Tim Berglund, and Redis offer a brief overview of other players in NoSQL, including Neo4J and MongoDB. Learn how Cassandra is different from relational tradition. This includes its approach to transactionality and how it affects system design. This video is for those who are interested in Cassandra or considering adopting it.
