Study Notes
NOSQL DATABASES
- Designed to manage non-tabular data
- Schema-less or flexible schema
- Horizontally scalable
- Handles various data types: structured, semi-structured (JSON), and unstructured (text, images, logs)
WHEN ARE THEY USED?
- When scalability is needed, easily handling large data volumes with horizontal scaling
- When flexibility is required, with dynamic schema design allowing for quick iterations
- When performance is crucial, optimized for specific data models and access patterns
- In big data and real-time applications, suited for big data and real-time analytics
TYPES OF NON-RELATIONAL DATABASES
DOCUMENT STORES
- Used for content management systems, storing documents in collections
- Documents within a collection can have different fields or structures, avoiding strict schemas
- Useful for storing products with varying attributes based on categories
- Example use case: a news website storing articles with title, body, author, tags, and publication date, using MongoDB
- MongoDB's flexible schema enables easy additions of new fields without altering existing documents, handling millions of users by distributing the load across multiple servers
KEY-VALUE STORES
- Used for caching mechanisms, session management, and real-time bidding
- Example use case: online shopping platforms using Redis for managing user sessions, quickly accessing and updating session information during high traffic times like Black Friday
- Stores data with a unique key and associated value
GRAPH DATABASES
- Graph data model represents data as nodes (entities) connected by relationships (edges)
- Suitable for scenarios where relationships between data points are crucial
- Example use case: social media platforms using Neo4j to manage social graphs, enabling efficient querying and analysis of user connections, recommending friends, detecting communities, and identifying influencers (identifying unusual patterns in the connections helps detect fraud)
- Neo4j is available in Community and Enterprise editions.
NEO4J PRODUCTS
- Neo4j Database: the core product, available in Community and Enterprise editions, a graph database
- Neo4j Aura: fully managed cloud service for deploying and running Neo4j databases, offering scalability, security, and reliability
- Neo4j Desktop: desktop application for development environments, creating, managing, and visually exploring local Neo4j databases
- Neo4j Bloom: graph visualization tool for exploring and querying graph databases through natural language search and interactive visualizations
- Neo4j Graph Data Science Library: algorithms and tools for analyzing and extracting insights from graph data, including centrality analysis, community detection, and similarity analysis
- Neo4j AuraDB for Google Cloud: fully managed graph database service hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
