NoSQL Database
Nice PickDevelopers should use NoSQL databases when building applications that require horizontal scaling, low-latency access, or flexible schema designs, such as big data analytics, content management systems, or IoT platforms
Pros
- +They are particularly valuable for handling diverse data types and high-velocity data streams where traditional SQL databases might struggle with performance or rigidity
- +Related to: mongodb, cassandra
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is widely used in the industry and worth learning
