NoSQL vs SQL at MongoDB LA

The NoSQL vs SQL conversation continues to heat up across the web as NoSQL usage increases while leaders in the space like MongoDB continue to add features and mature. The conversation was most definitely a hot topic when 10Gen held the Los Angeles MongoDB meetup at (mt) Headquarters on January 13th.

We were lucky enough to sit down with some of the brightest minds in NoSQL today and get their personal insights on the NoSQL vs SQL debate. We talked about some of the best use cases for NoSQL, barriers to wider adoption and a lot more. If you’ve been thinking of getting your feet wet with NoSQL technology, the insights here are definitely a great starting point.

A big thanks to our interviewees as usual!
