RailsConf 2014 - An Ode to 17 Databases in 33 Minutes by Toby Hede

A detailed, deep-diving, in-the-deep-end and occasionally humorous whirlwind introduction and analysis of a suite of modern (and sometimes delightfully archaic) database technologies. How they work, why they work, and when you might want them to work in your Rails application. Including but not limited to: PostgreSQL (now with JSON!) Redis Cassandra Hyperdex MongoDb Riak Animated Gifs Toby is a mild-mannered Rails Developer & occasionally Polyglot Programmer, based in Sydney, Australia. He really likes databases. Toby's hobbies include collecting programming languages and databases, playing the drums, cutting code and pondering the nature of existence.
