When it comes to distributed storage most of us think about Hadoop first but it is the NoSQL datastores where the distributed storage actually started in the form we see distributed storage used across technology platforms today.

I would even say that a good understanding of NoSQL helps understand the fundamentals of distributed storage and in turn distributed processing. And distributed storage and processing has become the de facto way of storage and processing information in technology.

Here are a few important resources on NoSQL to help you get going.

Introductory talk on NoSQL by Martin Fowler

THE Book on NoSQL

If there is one book you must read on NoSQL and distributed storage then it has to be this. It gets you started with the fundamentals and explains NoSQL in a way you will never forget.

Advanced Design Patterns for DynamoDB

While the above will get you started, the following video by Rick Houlihan will get you where the NoSQL have reached(with probably some focus on DynamoDb)

More Advanced Design Patterns for DynamoDB

If you liked Rick Houlihan’s style of delivery probably you will also like the video below by him. This is a bit more advanced video on the topic.
