Content repository technologies have evolved over the years and have migrated from Object Databases to SQL and then have begun to leverage NoSQL technologies. NoSQL enables a full range of new solutions, including hybrid SQL + NoSQL architecture.

This presentation explains the technical and design choices required to keep a content repository up-to-date and able to address the challenges of today's projects.

We will cover:

• Brief introduction on content repositories, their unique goals and challenges as well as their main use cases in the field
• Limitations when faced with traditional SQL databases, including problematic use-cases
• Integration of Elasticsearch and MongoDB as part of the storage infrastructure, including the challenges and motivations for selecting this type of architecture.
• Hybrid storage architecture benchmark results and real life feedback
