 OVERVIEW

• What are NoSQL databases?

• Why use NoSQL databases?
• Types of NoSQL databases
• Use cases
• Pros and cons
 WHAT ARE NOSQL DATABASES

• NoSQL (Not only SQL) databases are non-relational databases that provide a
flexible and scalable approach for storing and retrieving large volumes of
unstructured or semi-structured data.
• Unlike traditional SQL databases, NoSQL databases don't use a fixed schema,
allowing for greater flexibility in data modeling.
• NoSQL databases are designed to handle the three V's of big data: volume,
velocity, and variety
 WHY USE NOSQL DATABASES

• Scalability: NoSQL databases excel at horizontal scaling, allowing you to

handle large amounts of data and high traffic loads.
• Flexibility: NoSQL databases can adapt to changing data requirements without
requiring a predefined schema.
• Performance: NoSQL databases provide fast read and write operations,
making them suitable for real-time applications.
• High availability: Many NoSQL databases offer built-in replication and
automatic failover mechanisms, ensuring data availability.
 TYPES OF NOSQL DATABASES

1. Key-Value Stores:
• Simplest NoSQL model.
• Stores data in key-value pairs.
• Examples: Redis, Amazon DynamoDB.
2. Document Databases:
• Stores and retrieves semi-structured data as documents.
• Documents can be in various formats like JSON, XML, or BSON.
• Examples: MongoDB, Couchbase
 TYPES OF NOSQL DATABASES

Columnar Databases:
• Stores data in column families or columnar structures.
• Efficient for analytical workloads.
• Examples: Apache Cassandra, HBase.
4. Graph Databases:
• Stores and retrieves data in graph structures.
• Excellent for complex relationships and graph analytics.
• Examples: Neo4j, Amazon Neptune.
 USE CASES

• NoSQL databases are widely used in various applications, including:

• Web applications: Content management systems, user profiles, session
storage.
• E-commerce: Product catalogs, shopping carts, recommendations.
• Real-time analytics: Capturing and analyzing large volumes of data in real-
time.
• Internet of Things (IoT): Collecting and processing sensor data.
• Social networks: Managing social graphs and relationships.
 PROS AND CONS

Pros of NoSQL databases Cons of NoSQL databases

• Scalability and performance. • Lack of ACID transactions (Atomicity,
Consistency, Isolation, Durability).
• Flexible data models.
• Limited query capabilities compared to
• Horizontal scaling.
SQL.
• High availability.
• Steeper learning curve for developers.
• Data consistency challenges in
distributed environments.
 CONCLUSION

• NoSQL databases offer a flexible and scalable approach for managing large
volumes of unstructured or semi-structured data.
• They provide advantages in terms of scalability, performance, and flexibility.
• However, they also come with trade-offs such as limited query capabilities and
potential data consistency challenges.
• Choosing the right NoSQL database depends on the specific requirements of
your application.
