    Study Notes

    Introduction to NoSQL Databases

    • NoSQL databases are designed for managing non-tabular data.
    • They offer flexible schemas.
    • They support various data types (structured, semi-structured, unstructured).
    • They are horizontally scalable.

    When to Use NoSQL

    • Necessary when dealing with large volumes of data.
    • Ideal for dynamic schemas, enabling quick iterations and changes.
    • Critical when performance is vital.
    • Suited for big data and real-time analytics applications.

    Types of NoSQL Databases: Document Stores

    • Document stores are used for content management systems.
    • Documents within a collection may have different structures.
    • Schema flexibility allows for varied data formats within a single collection.
    • Useful when storing products with varying attributes depending on categories.
    • Example use case: news websites using MongoDB to store articles with different attributes.
    • MongoDB flexible schema allows for easy addition of new fields.

    Key-Value Stores

    • Key-value stores are used for caching, session management and real-time bidding.
    • Example: Online shopping platforms use Redis to manage user sessions.
    • Keys used to access session data quickly.

    Graph Databases

    • Graph databases store interconnected data as nodes connected by relationships (edges).
    • Useful for scenarios where relationships between data points are significant, such as social networks and recommendation systems.
    • Example: Social media platforms use graph databases to manage friendships, messages and likes.
    • Helps in connecting users via social interactions.

    Neo4j Products

    • Neo4j is a graph database available in Community and Enterprise editions.
    • Neo4j Aura is a fully managed cloud service for deploying and running Neo4j databases.
    • Neo4j Desktop is a desktop application for developing and managing Neo4j databases.
    • Neo4j Bloom is a graph visualization and exploration tool.
    • Neo4j Graph Data Science Library is a collection of algorithms for analyzing graph data.
    • Neo4j AuraDB is a fully managed graph database service on Google Cloud Platform.
