Don't Drop ACID - Transactions in Distributed NoSQL

Explore the world of NoSQL document databases and their unique capabilities in scaling, flexibility, and performance in this conference talk from NDC Oslo 2020. Delve into the concerns developers from relational backgrounds may have about using NoSQL, focusing on ACID transactions. Learn about the historical reasons behind NoSQL databases' initial lack of full ACID capabilities and discover why this might not be a significant issue. Examine alternative data modeling and querying techniques to compensate for the absence of ACID. Investigate the recent trend of document databases incorporating distributed multi-document ACID capabilities, complete with a live demonstration of a NoSQL transaction. Gain a comprehensive understanding of how ACID works in NoSQL environments and when to implement it effectively.
