    NoSQL Databases

    Databases designed to store, retrieve, and manage data that does not conform to a traditional table-based structure. They offer flexible schema, horizontal scalability and handle different data types.

    Document Stores

    Databases that store data as documents, which can have different fields or structures. They allow flexible schema and are ideal for content management.

    Key-Value Stores

    Databases that store data as key-value pairs. They offer fast read and write operations, making them suitable for caching, session management, and real-time applications.

    Graph Databases

    Databases that store data as nodes and relationships between those nodes, representing interconnected data. They are effective for analyzing complex relationships and graph-like structures.

    Study Notes

    NoSQL Databases

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

    When to Use NoSQL Databases

    • When scalability is needed (handling large data volumes).
    • When flexibility is required (dynamic schema changes).
    • When performance matters.
    • In 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 can have different fields or structures.
    • Schema flexibility allows different data formats.
    • They are useful for storing products with varying attributes.
    • Example use case: A news website using MongoDB to store articles (title, body, author, tags, etc.).
    • MongoDB's flexible schema allows for easy addition of new data fields.
    • This scalable approach allows for handling millions of users.
    • Example data structure: {"carID": 101, "brand": "Toyota"}.

    Key-Value Stores

    • Key-value stores are used for caching, session management, and real-time bidding.
    • Redis and DynamoDB are examples.
    • Example use case: An online shopping platform using Redis to manage user sessions.

    Graph Databases

    • Graph databases represent data as nodes connected by relationships (edges).
    • They are suitable for scenarios with important relationships between data points.
    • Use cases include social networks, recommendation systems, and fraud detection.
    • Example use case: A social media platform using Neo4j to manage relationships and analyze social graphs (friendships, messages, likes).

    Neo4j Products

    • Neo4j Database: The core product, available in Community and Enterprise editions.
    • Neo4j Aura: A fully managed cloud service for Neo4j deployments, offering scalability and reliability.
    • Neo4j Desktop: A desktop application for developing and managing local Neo4j databases.
    • Neo4j Bloom: A graph visualization and exploration tool.
    • Neo4j Graph Data Science Library: Algorithms and tools for advanced graph analytics.
