Enabling Efficient Agile Software Development of NoSQL-backed Applications

Abstract

NoSQL databases are popular in agile software development, where a frequently changing database schema imposes challenges for the production database. In this demo, we present Darwin, a middleware for systematic, tool-based support specifically designed for NoSQL database systems. Darwin carries out schema evolution and data migration tasks. To the best of our knowledge, Darwin is the first tool of its kind that supports both eager and lazy NoSQL data migration.
