Multi-model databases and the art of aircraft maintenance

We describe a case study in aircraft fleet management, where we needed a database that would store data about all the different parts and subunits of an aircraft. A single aircraft already contains some 6,000,000 parts, not counting components.

The particular structure of the queries arising naturally from day-to-day processes quickly led to the insight that no single data model was sufficient to ensure satisfactory performance. Whichever data model we tried, there was always at least one important query that would either take ages to complete or be unbearably complicated, or indeed both.

Building Single Page Applications with Angular.JS and Foxx

Workshop on March, 26th

Angular.JS is Google’s open-source JavaScript framework optimized to build awesome single page applications. This ease of use has convinced many developers to switch. With MVC in the browser all you need from your backend is an easy way to define an API for your data.- That’s where Foxx excels.

In this training session we will build a simple single page application. Showing you how to use Angular.JS and what is a good way to define your model using Foxx.

Polyglot Persistence & Multi-Model NoSQL Databases

Talk on March, 27th (10 am)

In many modern applications the database side is realized using polyglot persistence – store each data format (graphs, documents, etc.) in an appropriate separate database. This approach yields several benefits, databases are optimized for their specific duty, however there are also drawbacks:

  • keep all databases in sync
  • queries might require data from several databases
  • experts needed for all used systems

A multi-model database is not restricted to one data format, but can cope with several of them. In this talk i will present how a multi-model database can be used in a polyglot persistence setup and how it will reduce the effort drastically.
