RDBMS are the solution to many of the problems that these 'modern' systems have, but it isn't cool.

Someone joked that the wave of the future will be SQL, and that those start-ups that use it will believe that they have superpowers over the ones that don't. Transactional integrity, complex queries, constraints, what's not to like?

It's funny how true that is. Every day I write SQL I'm grateful that I'm on a relational database and not on some hot new nosql system that is both over and underkill for the work I do.

For a while learning my way around a nosql database was on my to-do for professional development list. I won't claim there aren't valid use cases, but once I got around to spending a few hours poking around I quickly realized it would not make my life any easier.

I could find a single sentence from the noob that I could agree with. Redis is superior to memcached. Not due to being faster or scalable, I've just had less operational problems with it than memcached. It's on my list of supersoftwares that are first choices to solve a problem in it's domain (nginx, uwsgi, postgresql, redis).
