Decentralized Databases vs NoSQL Databases
Developers should learn decentralized databases for applications requiring immutable audit trails, such as supply chain tracking, financial ledgers, or voting systems, where trust and transparency are critical meets developers should learn nosql databases when building applications requiring horizontal scaling, high throughput, or handling diverse data formats like json, xml, or graphs. Here's our take.
Decentralized Databases
Developers should learn decentralized databases for applications requiring immutable audit trails, such as supply chain tracking, financial ledgers, or voting systems, where trust and transparency are critical
Decentralized Databases
Nice PickDevelopers should learn decentralized databases for applications requiring immutable audit trails, such as supply chain tracking, financial ledgers, or voting systems, where trust and transparency are critical
Pros
- +They are also essential for building decentralized applications (dApps) on platforms like Ethereum or IPFS, where data needs to be stored in a resilient, peer-to-peer manner without reliance on centralized servers
- +Related to: blockchain, distributed-systems
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
NoSQL Databases
Developers should learn NoSQL databases when building applications requiring horizontal scaling, high throughput, or handling diverse data formats like JSON, XML, or graphs
Pros
- +They are ideal for use cases such as big data processing, real-time web apps, social networks, and caching layers where relational databases may be too rigid or slow
- +Related to: mongodb, redis
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Decentralized Databases if: You want they are also essential for building decentralized applications (dapps) on platforms like ethereum or ipfs, where data needs to be stored in a resilient, peer-to-peer manner without reliance on centralized servers and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use NoSQL Databases if: You prioritize they are ideal for use cases such as big data processing, real-time web apps, social networks, and caching layers where relational databases may be too rigid or slow over what Decentralized Databases offers.
