Entity Relationship Modeling vs Document Modeling
Developers should learn ERM when designing relational databases for applications like business systems, e-commerce platforms, or content management systems, as it ensures data integrity and clarity meets developers should learn document modeling when building applications with nosql databases like mongodb, where data is stored as documents rather than tables, to handle semi-structured or hierarchical data efficiently. Here's our take.

The Verdict
Use Entity Relationship Modeling if: You want it is used during the initial planning phase to map out tables, keys, and constraints, reducing errors and improving communication between stakeholders and database administrators and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Document Modeling if: You prioritize it is crucial for use cases requiring high write throughput, flexible schemas (e over what Entity Relationship Modeling offers.
