Introduction to NoSQL Databases for beginners

Date: Monday, May 23rd at 11am PT / 2pm ET

Join Aleks Volochnev from the DataStax Developers Team and learn why more and more traditional and cloud native applications are using the power of NoSQL Databases. In about 60 minutes, you’ll learn in detail what NoSQL is, where it came from, and what is wrong with NoSQL.

This workshop is great for those coming from a relational background and wanting to get hands-on with databases with no tables, rows, primary keys, or foreign keys. You’ll learn about Tabular, Document, Key Value and Graph Databases before you get hands-on with your own NoSQL database using AstraDB - a cloud-native database as a service and the easiest way to get started on your professional NoSQL journey.

  • An introduction to NoSQL databases, and how they differ from Relational Databases
  • An overview of Tabular, Document, Column Oriented, Key Values Oriented and Graph Databases
  • Set up your own NoSQL database using AstraDB - no installation required
  • Execute your first set of CRUD operations - create, read, update & delete

You will not have to install anything during the session and we will guide you through the process step by step.
