Distributed Algorithms in NoSQL Databases

Highly Scalable

As such, it encompasses distributed system coordination, failover, resource management and many other capabilities. These developments gradually highlight a system of relevant database building blocks with proven practical efficiency. System Coordination. This fact is often referred to as the CAP theorem.

NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques

Highly Scalable

This aspect of NoSQL is well-studied both in practice and theory because specific non-functional properties are often the main justification for NoSQL usage and fundamental results on distributed systems like the CAP theorem apply well to NoSQL systems. General Notes on NoSQL Data Modeling.

Choosing Consistency - All Things Distributed

All Things Distributed

All Things Distributed. Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. Architecting distributed systems that need to reliably operate at world-wide scale is not a simple task. I laid out some of these challenges in an article explaining the concept of eventual consistency.
