Are you a Java developer eager to explore the world of NoSQL and polyglot persistence? Join our workshop to discover the power of enterprise Java with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile while diving into four different NoSQL databases. Learn the context, history, and fundamentals of persistence applications, and gain practical insights into key-value, wide column, document, and graph databases. We’ll provide tips, examples, best practices on when and how to use each database type, and modeling scenarios and differentiation from relational databases. Take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your skills and stay ahead of the evolving trends in the Java ecosystem!

Overview

Polyglot NoSQL allows you to explore and experiment with various NoSQL databases, including Redis, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4j, all within a Java-based environment. The project provides examples, code snippets, and practical use cases to help you understand how to work with these databases seamlessly.
