NoSQL Is Here to Stay
If you think NoSQL is just a fad, I’d encourage you to take a look at the amount of data we need to be ready to process sooner than later: [1] or [2].
Now we can pull out our pencils and try to calculate the costs of managing this data using traditional systems (hint: make sure we include licensing costs, vertically scalable hardware, DB administration costs, etc.). We should also try to include the cost of complexity.
NoSQL is definitely here to stay!
