What are Key-Value Databases?

Key-value databases are a type of NoSQL database that store data as pairs, where each unique key is associated with a value. This structure is simple and highly flexible, making key-value databases ideal for scenarios requiring fast access to data, such as caching, session management, and real-time applications. In these databases, the key acts as a unique identifier for retrieving or storing the value, which can be any type of data—strings, numbers, objects, or even binary data. Key-value stores are known for their scalability, performance, and ability to handle high volumes of read and write operations with low latency. These databases are particularly useful for applications that require quick lookups or high availability, such as online retail platforms, social networks, and recommendation systems.
