Presentation: "Social networks and the Richness of Data: Getting distributed webservices done with Nosql"

Time: Wednesday 15:00 - 16:00

Location: Westminster Suite

Abstract:

Social networks by their nature deal with large amounts of user-generated data that must be processed and presented in a time sensitive manner. Much more write intensive than previous generations of websites, social networks have been on the leading edge of non-relational persistence technology adoption. This talk presents how Germany's leading social networks Schuelervz, Studivz and Meinvz are incorporating Redis and Project Voldemort into their platform to run features like activity streams.

Keywords: Architecture, Scalability, Project Voldemort, RabbitMQ, Redis, Nginx, Social Network

Target Audience: Any developer interested in social networks, alternative storage solutions and architectures.
