Document Databases:

A Comprehensive
Guide
Document databases are gaining popularity for their flexibility and
scalability. This presentation will provide an in-depth exploration of
document databases, their features, use cases, and considerations for
choosing the right database for your application.
What is a Document Database?
Data Structure Key-Value Pairs

Document databases store data in JSON-like documents, Documents are typically organized as key-value pairs,
allowing for flexible and dynamic schemas. where each key represents a field and the value is the
associated data.
Key Features of
Document Databases

Performance
Their architecture optimizes for fast read and write operations,
making them suitable for real-time applications.

Transactions in Document Databases
ACID Properties
Some document databases support ACID properties, ensuring atomicity, consistency,
isolation, and durability of transactions.

Limited Transactions
Others offer limited transaction support or focus on providing high-level consistency
guarantees.
Availability in
Document Databases
High Availability
Document databases are often designed for high
availability, replicating data across multiple nodes to
minimize downtime.

Fault Tolerance
They provide resilience against failures, ensuring that
data remains accessible even if some nodes become
unavailable.
Query Features in Document Databases
Document-Oriented Queries
They often use a query language based on JSON syntax, making it easier to

enabling you to perform calculations and analyze data.
Scaling Document Databases
Horizontal Scaling
