NoSQL Databases

Tags: [#NoSQL, #Database, #DataManagement]

NoSQL (Not Only SQL) databases are non-relational databases designed to scale horizontally and enable high-speed read and write operations. Unlike traditional relational databases that rely on fixed schemas and ACID transactions, NoSQL databases offer more flexible data models such as key-value, document, column-family, and graph formats. They are particularly well-suited for handling large volumes of structured and unstructured data, making them ideal for big data applications, real-time analytics, and high-performance computing.
