Relational databases have long proven their use, but have also shown their limitations; they enforce the use of a schema and they do not scale well over multiple machines.
NoSQL databases no longer follow the relational data model but instead allow you to use data in a structure which is more in line with the use case. In addition to being designed with scalability in mind.
There are 4 distinct types of NoSQL databases:
- Key/Value
- Column Store
- Document Store
- Graph Databases
This training will provide a theoretical introduction enforced with some practical exercises on the most popular NoSQL databases.
- Redis (key/value)
- Cassandra (column store)
- MongoDB (document store)
- Neo4J (graph database)
