3. WHY NOSQL?
“ Zynga’s games serve over 235 million active users per
month. We depend on technology from Couchbase to make
that possible. We have improved the performance and
availability of our games while reducing hardware and
administration costs. We will continue to transition our data
from relational databases to Couchbase technology.

• Fast:
– Predictable low latency
– Sub-ms response times
– Built-in memcached technology
• Zero-downtime Elasticity:
– Spread I/O and data across instances
– Consistent performance with linear cost
– Dynamic rebalancing of a live cluster

6. Couchbase->Cloudera Connector
• Connects online (OLTP) data serving with offline
(OLAP) processing
• Uses ‘sqoop’ to dump and/or stream data from
Couchbase Server into Cloudera Hadoop (CDH)
• Allows your application to receive consistent
performance (low latency/high throughput) while
also allowing for heavy duty map-reduce processing
of same dataset
