I realized that ‘ NoSQL' systems obviously didn't use SQL to find data, but I had no idea what they used instead.
This is why the Ars article was so enlightening to me... there really isn't an alternative to SQL, except code.
That's disheartening to me. Yes, these large data structures make it possible to store a lot of data in a lot of places, but it clearly is a step backwards in allowing anyone who is not a developer to freely access that data. These products …
SQL Servers along with the entire concept of relational database and object-relational impedance mismatch
Evolutionary databases and managing them (including upgrade scripts and unit tests working against mock databases to verify behaviors on continuous integration servers)
Another practical sample would be - planned replacement of API implemented as REST via WCF (with SOAP and all sorts of weird configuration problems) towards a dead-simple implementation on HttpListener…
…'s restaurants" is another one. Essentially read model is some view (precomputed result of an SQL Query in SQL World).
Since we have more flexibility with projecting events and passing them around, we can easily do more interesting things, reaching up to the speeds of LMAX (which was described by Martin Fowler ):
Keep read models (precomputed query results) directly in memory in some MemCached instances (if server goes down, we can always repopulate cache …

…atomically creates the purchase order and its initial items in a single operation. Just as with the SQL scenario, clients will never see a point in time where the purchase order is empty. It all succeeds in a single step.
Now what about modifying that purchase order? If we want to add some items to the PO, we can do so like this:
The $pushAll operator atomically appends values onto an array attribute. Just as with our RDBMS scenario, this update is atomic and the whole command either succeeds …
We never need to "refresh" the cache with this system, and the SQL database (or other type of on-disk data store) will only be pinged if the user is paginating "far" intervals. So never for the home page, and never for the first pages of our comments time line.
As you can see here Redis is working as a new element. It is not working as a traditional cache, there are no cache refreshes and the info in the Redis instance is always coherent. It is not either working as …

SQL is actually the name of a declarative query language, while more precisely this article concerns traditional relational database systems. Since it is common to talk about NoSQL as the opposite of relational database systems, we have taken the editorial liberty of using SQL as a synonym for relational database systems.

Provide an easy-to-use end-point to run data exploration queries (using SQL and simple web-forms).
Cache the results of queries (in a database) to power reports, so that the data is available to everyone, whenever it is needed.
Allow our hadoop cluster to be totally dynamic without having to move data around (we shut it down at night and on weekends).
Add new data in a simple way (just put it in Amazon S3!).
Analyse data from several data sources (mongodb, postgres, log-files).
