This is pretty useful for someone like me who's been in large companies using Teradata forever, just to understand the NoSQL products out there and potential use cases. On any given day, I feel like I've fallen way behind on database technology simply because we're fairly locked in, admittedly very happy with TD. It's helpful to keep up here though, because we do have some projects we'd like to do that would probably work better outside of an RDBMS.
I'd love to see something similar on the various ETL/data pipeline tools. In that regard, we still write a ton of SAS code because we have a variety of sources, which SAS does well, pretty solid if you need to do some data cleansing into the target, and the code itself is very batch-friendly and maintainable. It's been a while since I've surveyed alternatives.
