Bastardisation - the race to the bottom
As we all know, PostgreSQL claims to have implemented NoSQL functionality in their SQL database by playing games with JSON.
What you may not know is that pure-bred NoSQL databases have also started to get into the SQL world.
OpenRiak would like to present OpenRiak TS 3. TS (Time Series) inherits the rock steady fault tolerance of KV but is designed to give much faster access to groups of data by storing them closer together on disk for faster sequential retrieval. To allow for easier adoption, SQL functionality such as MEAN, MEDIAN, AVERAGE, as well as LIMIT and ORDER BY compliment the basic SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE functions that everyone would expect as a minimum base to work with.
Securing OpenRiak using everyday open source tools
Out of the box, many databases are not particularly secure. The popular open source NoSQL database OpenRiak is one such database. In this talk, we shall look at a number of potential attack vectors and how to mitigate them to make this application as secure as reasonably possible.
When the Cloud's Reign is Over
Cloud Computing is great. It gives you practically instant scalability with no need for a large infrastructure team and guaranteed up times, plus the ability to try scaled-down versions of your projects at negligible costs before investing in major infrastructure.
So it came as a surprise to me to discover that, after a certain tipping point, cloud computing is actually horrendously cost ineffective! We're not talking a few hundred dollars here, we're talking up to double the IT budget you'd be paying to run the majority of your systems in house. That doesn't even include any in-direct cost-savings such as reduced legal fees from simpler regulatory compliance! It turns out that GDPR and similar laws also become surprisingly simple when your customer's data is physically located on servers you control.
Join me for this talk to hear a few examples and a couple of options to move from someone else's computer to one of yours!
