I have also explored how using an ORM layer contributes to efficient development. Firstly, I have presented a non-relational database management system Apache Cassandra and described the distributed hash tables. I have continued with a description of the idea of an additional applicative ORM layer and explored pros and cons of using it with Apache Cassandra. Secondly, I have described the idea and the development process of my own ORM layer between the application and a non-relational database. Furthermore, I have described solving the general problem and my experience of designing and developing the application. Finally, I have presented my findings to help guide developers when making decisions on which technologies to use in order to solve their problem. Show less
