This week we try to make sense of what were once called "NoSQL" databases, focusing on the early entries into the field like Bigtable, Dynamo and Cassandra.  We try to explain how they differ from prior database systems and what motivated their creation.

Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data

Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly Available Key-value Store

Cassandra - A Decentralized Structured Storage System
