Open Source Database Architectures: Shifting From Capture-First to Query-First

You have your go-to databases​, your favorites, the ones you know and love. But are they always the right choice for every task? And, the reality is you’re going to be working across five or six anyway. So how to choose? Instead of fitting the workload to the database, you fit the database to the workload. Is your workload mostly reads? Writes? Or a mixture? And what kinds of reads, linear scans, random reads? Do you need a database for transactioning or for durability? We’ll walk through the many open source options, project by project, and map workloads to the right database that can make or break the success of your next project.
