Questions

What are the key differences between a relational database and a NoSQL database? Provide an example use case where a relational database would be a better fit than a NoSQL database and vice versa.
How would you scale a relational database system for a read-heavy and a write-heavy workload?
What is the CAP theorem and is it important when choosing which NoSQL implementation to use?

Why is it important to provide an abstraction layer between our business logic and the underlying database?
How would you go about adding a new method to the Indexer interface we discussed in the last part of this chapter?

Anagnostopoulos

Achilleas Anagnostopoulos has been writing code in a multitude of programming languages since the mid 90s. His main interest lies in building scalable, microservice-based distributed systems where components are interconnected via gRPC or message queues. Achilleas has over 4 years of experience building production-grade systems using Go and occasionally enjoys pushing the language to its limits through his experimental gopher-os project: a 64-bit kernel written entirely in Go. He is currently a member of the Juju team at Canonical, contributing to one of the largest open source Go code bases in existence.
