Building applications that scale to extreme levels is a challenging task, especially when performance bottlenecks lie within the persistence layer. In response, developers often turn to polyglot persistence architectures that encompass various technologies such as a traditional relational database, read-only database replicas, a full-text search engine, and in-memory data caching, just to name a few. You can try to roll your own polyglot persistence design and be responsible for the complexities of integrating and maintaining all of your technologies. Or you can rely on the pre-integrated, fully supported, and proven polyglot persistence technologies inherent in Database.com. Come to this session to learn more about the persistence magic that_s under the hood of Database.com and how it can help your app scale to the max.
