Daily Term: NoSQL

NoSQL

NoSQL databases are designed to handle unstructured, semi-structured, or structured data at scale, unlike traditional relational databases. They include types like key-value (Redis), document (MongoDB), column-family (Cassandra), and graph (Neo4j). NoSQL databases excel in scalability, flexibility, and handling large volumes of data, making them ideal for big data and distributed systems, but they often sacrifice strict consistency for availability.
