Programming and Tools

• The world is drowning in data

Motivation
 Network of physical
objects that are
connected to the
internet allowing
them to send, receive
and exchange data

Internet of Things
• Imagine a device push a byte per-second to the cloud

~ 50 GB per-second of data

Internet of Things
IoT Architecture
• A collection of files storing related data

• For example:
• Facebook Post
• Bank Account
• UTeM Student’s Records
• Contact List on Cell Phone

Database
• A software that allows client to manage large
database that stores, access, and manipulates data
saved on disk, or even in RAM
• Organize data according to a specific pattern, called
database model
• The DBMS has three core components:
• Data storage engine
• Query / Update engine
• Schema management system

Database Management Systems (DBMS)

• Data storage can be persistence or ephemeral
• The format of that data can vary widely: small or
large files, organized by row, by column, or by
content.

Data Storage Engine

• Query Language are used for retrieving and storing
data of different types.
• SQL (Structured Query Language)
• MQL (MongoDB Query Language)
• In order to expose those functions, the DBMS
exposes APIs for client applications

Query / Update engine

• Define how you want your data to be structured
• Rigid schemas
• useful when you know the exact specifications of each
record in advance, and don’t need to change often
• Flexible schemas
• useful when you're working with unstructured data, or
have constantly changing, variability in your data set, or
need to respond to more rapidly changing requirements

Schema Management system

• Hierarchical databases
• Network databases
• Relational databases
• Non-relational databases
• Time series databases

Types of Databases
• Hierarchical databases
• Encode a relationship between items where every
record has a single parent.
• Tree-like structure that can be used to categorize records
according to their parent record.

Types of Databases
• Relational databases
• Organize data using tables
• Column has a name and a data
type
• Row represents a data item

Types of Databases
• Non-relational databases
• Also known as document-oriented databases
• Use a key to uniquely identify data within the database
• Do not prescribe any specific format or schema.

Types of Databases
• Time series databases
• Data stores that focus on collecting and managing values
that change over time
• Organized into structures that record the values for a
single item over time or using timestamps as keys to
store values for multiple metrics or columns at once.

Types of Databases
• Also known as NoSQL Database
• Schema-less

Non-Relational Database
• Also known as NoSQL Database
• Schema-less
