NoSQL
A category of databases that store data in formats other than traditional relational tables.
Why it matters
- Flexible schemas for evolving data models
- Can scale horizontally more easily
- Optimized for specific access patterns
When to use
- When schema flexibility is important
- For document or key-value data patterns
- When horizontal scaling is a priority
Common mistakes
- Using NoSQL when relational would be better
- Not understanding eventual consistency tradeoffs
- Treating NoSQL as a silver bullet for scaling
