NoSQL Databases and Couchbase: NoSQL Scalability & Performance | Couchbase

Technologies | April 4, 2011

Because vendors of RDBMS technology have little incentive to disrupt a technology generating billions of dollars for them annually, application developers were forced to take matters into their own hands. Google (Big Table) and Amazon (Dynamo) are two leading web application developers who invented, developed and depend on their own database technologies. These “NoSQL” databases, each eschewing the relational data model, are a far better match for the needs modern interactive software systems.

A nice introduction to NoSQL.
