NoSQL tools like MongoDB, Neo4j and Redis take innovative approaches to the unique problems of handling data in modern distributed and Web-based systems. The new book, Making Sense of NoSQL: A guide for managers and the rest of us by Dan McCreary and Ann Kelly, is a resource for learning about NoSQL solutions. According to publisher Manning Publications, the book clearly and concisely explains the concepts, features, benefits, potential and limitations of NoSQL technologies. Using examples and use cases, illustrations and plain, jargon-free writing, this guide shows how one can assemble a NoSQL solution to replace or augment a traditional RDBMS effectively. After reviewing database concepts alongside the new NoSQL patterns, authors McCreary and Kelly explore topics including Big Data, search, reliability, business adaptability, cloud computing, large CPU-count data centers and customized solutions.
