Relational Databases (RDBMS) vs. NoSQL in a nutshell
📊 RDBMS:
Tabular Structure, Strict Schema
ACID Properties for Data Integrity
SQL Query Language
Vertical Scaling
Ideal for Structured Data and Transactions
🚀 NoSQL:
Varied Structures, BASE Properties
NoSQL Query Languages
Horizontal Scaling
Suited for Unstructured or Semi-structured Data, Big Data
Examples: MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis
Considerations:
Data Structure: RDBMS for well-defined relationships, NoSQL for evolving data.
Scalability: RDBMS vertically, NoSQL horizontally.
Consistency: RDBMS strong, NoSQL prioritizes availability.
Development: NoSQL for flexibility and faster iteration.
