Many of you have already seen Kovacs' comparison of nosql stores. Just throw a SQL DBMS into the decision matrix. Consider how several might w…

   http://memcached.org/ used to be. I haven't done system architecture in about 2 years but when we were looking at in memory databases, it came down to Redis or Memcache.

    I have a hard time keeping up with all the NoSQL engines out there. What can I do about it? I could easily evaluate, say, CouchDB in a side-project, but that's a) not necessarily going to tell me a lot about its characteristics at scale, and b) I can't do this even for the big NoSQL engines out there. Is there a good overview? I realize that this is sort of an oxymoron -- a high level overview is doomed to fail beca…
