SQL to NoSQL to NewSQL and the rise of polyglot persistence Paul Dix
summary
Argues that SQL’s monopoly is over and polyglot persistence is the normal state, backing it with history (BigTable 2006, Dynamo 2007, Spanner 2012, Cockroach 2014) and concrete comparisons: Redis sorted set implements ranking in a couple of commands and is far simpler and faster than the equivalent Postgres upsert+rank SQL, while InfluxDB time-series model and a functional query chain (Flux) map naturally to stream/aggregation problems. Claims NoSQL often buys programmer productivity more than raw scale.
