Databases
Looking into key / value databases
May 26th
Key/Value db’s are currently getting a LOT of press and coverage. More for myself, I’ve collected a few links here.
Often times, we put our data into a relational model out of habit more than anything else. These projects force me to look at my data in alternative ways. (No worries: This isn’t a case of a solution looking for a problem)
- Tokyo Cabinet
- Project Voldemort : Replication, clustered data, java library
- Flared
- Oracle Berkeley db : On top of which SVN sits
- MemcacheDB
- CouchDB
Articles:
I haven’t found much in the way of articles that talk of the best practices and patterns to use with these products, but if I find any, I’ll be sure to putthem on my delicious feed under the database tag.
