Overview

“NoSQL Databases Overview” is a compact live course in the field of Databases. It centres on Document, key-value, column and graph databases, CAP theorem and Consistency models – explained with realistic examples and deepened in exercises you can transfer straight to your daily work.

Databases hold the data that business processes depend on. Whether relational systems such as SQL Server and PostgreSQL or NoSQL solutions such as MongoDB, Redis and Neo4j, those who design them cleanly, query them efficiently and run them reliably avoid costly outages and bottlenecks. Our courses give developers, analysts and administrators exactly the knowledge they need in daily work. Each course lasts one day, takes place online or on site, and is built around exercises in a provided database environment with realistic sample data, so you can apply what you learn immediately.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
