CERN discusses the ALICE Environment at ScyllaDB Summit 2017

CERN's Miguel Pedreira discusses the ALICE experiment's database enhancements at the ScyllaDB Summit 2017, focusing on improving performance and scalability through migration to Apache Cassandra/ScyllaDB. The talk targets individuals interested in transitioning to an Apache Cassandra-based approach, highlighting lessons learned, performance results, and differences between SQL and NoSQL schema paradigms. It also covers the global metadata catalog facilitating distributed computing across 80 centers worldwide, and the use of big data tools like Spark for processing database information. The summit, held in San Francisco, offers opportunities to learn from NoSQL experts and explore technical innovations and ScyllaDB's roadmap.
