Fantastic presentation by Doug Judd covering not only Hypertable but also other really scalable NoSQL databases:

Session was recorded at Berlin Buzzwords conference. Here is the list of my favorite presentations from the event.

Firstly, Diarmuid Bourke’s presentation at PyCon Irland 2010:

Mike Dirolf ☞ covers the details of working with PyMongo and replica sets, one of the most interesting features in the MongoDB 1.6 releases:

PyMongo makes working with replica sets easy. Here we’ll launch a new replica set and show how to handle both initialization and normal connections with PyMongo.

Learn how to protect your CouchDB databases:

Just recently CouchDB has seen a security vulnerability, fixed by the CouchDB 1.0.1 release. While there is no direct connection between this tutorial on CouchDB security and the mentioned security vulnerability, the important thing to remember is: security should always be an educated decision.

Rusty Klophaus (Basho) talking about how you can go from using a single Riak server to a fully distributed Riak installation:

I’ve seen this presentation live at Berlin Buzzwords and it is a must see.

Django decided long time ago that Ruby on Rails cannot be the only framework where people can have fun integrating with all NoSQL databases. During this year DjangoCon Europe there were several session dedicated to Django and NoSQL databases:

• Alex Gaynor: What NoSQL support in the Django ORM looks like, and how do we get there
• Peter Bengtsson: Using MongoDB in your app
• Benoît Chesneau: Relax your project with CouchDB
• Tobias Ivarsson: Django and Neo4j: Domain Modeling that Kicks Ass
• Django and NoSQL Panel

What NoSQL support in the Django ORM looks like, and how do we get there

Alex Gaynor speaks about what needs to change in Django ORM to make it more NoSQL friendly:

Reinout van Rees has a summary of the talk ☞ here.

Using MongoDB in your app

Peter Bengtsson talks about his experience of passing from using ZODB for the last 10 years to MongoDB

Some notes from the talk are available ☞ here.

Relax your project with CouchDB

Benoît Chesneau talks about what makes CouchDB appealing to python developers. He also covers the CouchDBkit python framework.

Django and Neo4j: Domain Modeling that Kicks Ass

Not coming from DjangoCon, but still about Django and Neo4j, is Tobias Ivarsson’s presentation: “Django and Neo4j - Domain modeling that kicks ass”:

Derek Stainer summarizes the slide deck ☞ here.

Django and NoSQL Panel

A fantastic panel on the future of Django and NoSQL databases that you can watch over ☞ blip.tv. Reinout van Rees published a transcript of the panel ☞ here.

All in all a lot of NoSQL excitement in the Django world! Or should it be the opposite?

Update: Here is the latest Django and NoSQL Databases status update

Funny video from Basho guys (physically) demonstrating what’s happening with your data when a server crashes

Next time, send the mugs to people and use real servers for such demos!

CouchDB 1.0 has been out for two weeks already, so if you haven’t upgraded yet or haven’t had the time to check all new cool features in CouchDB 1.0, here is a video of Jan Lehnardt (@janl), core CouchDB developer, covering what’s new in CouchDB 0.11 and CouchDB 1.0:
