Episode 155 – NoSQL: You keep using that word… Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

For a podcast on Big Data, we were amazed that we never covered the subject of NoSQL. So we're correcting this today. Not by listing and comparing all the NoSQL solutions out there, but rather by going over the differences between the two paradigms. This way we hope to offer enough insight so you can feel comfortable deciding if you should or should not deploy NoSQL in your environment.

Episode 153 – How Secure is the Future of Open Source? Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

The way open source software is being consumed has changed drastically: originally found on the fringes, open source technology has now become a core part of many organizations of all sizes. We take a look at the confusion and sometimes vocal irritation that has accompanied this adoption by "Big Business" and ask the question if the future of Open Source is in danger.
