    NoSQL Databases

    Databases designed to store, retrieve, and manage data that doesn't fit into traditional table structures. They offer flexibility in schema design and are horizontally scalable.

    Document Stores

    A type of NoSQL database that stores data in JSON-like documents. Each document can have different fields, offering flexibility in data structure.

    MongoDB

    A document database popular for its flexibility and scalability. It's often used in content management systems and applications that require storing dynamic content.

    Key-Value Stores

    A type of NoSQL database where data is stored as key-value pairs. It excels in fast data retrieval and updates, making it ideal for caching and session management.

    Study Notes

    NoSQL Databases

    • NoSQL databases are designed to manage non-tabular data.
    • They are schema-less or flexible.
    • They can handle various data types: structured, semi-structured (JSON), and unstructured (text, images, logs).
    • Horizontally scalable.

    When to Use NoSQL

    • When scalability is needed (to handle large volumes of data easily).
    • When flexibility is needed (to quickly adapt to changes).
    • When performance is important (optimized for specific data models and access patterns).
    • For big data and real-time applications.

    Types of NoSQL Databases: Document Stores

    • Document stores are used for content management systems (like websites).
    • Documents in the same collection can have different fields or structures.
    • No strict schema enforcement.
    • Flexible for storing various data formats in a single collection.
    • Useful for storing products with varying attributes based on the category.
    • Example use case: a news website to store articles (with title, body, author, tags, and publication date).

    Key-Value Stores

    • Used for caching, session management, and real-time bidding.
    • Example: An online shopping platform uses Redis to manage user sessions.
    • Each user's session is stored with a unique session ID (key) and session data (e.g., cart, authentication).

    Graph Databases

    • Graph databases represent data as nodes (entities) connected by edges (relationships).
    • Useful for scenarios where relationships between data points are important.
    • Examples: Social networks, recommendation systems, network and IT operations, and fraud detection.
    • Enables efficient modeling of complex relationships.
    • Example use case: A social media platform using Neo4j to manage its social graph.

    Neo4j Products

    • Neo4j Database: Core product, available in Community and Enterprise editions.
    • Neo4j Aura: Fully managed cloud service for Neo4j databases.
    • Neo4j Desktop: Desktop application for development and management of local Neo4j databases.
    • Neo4j Bloom: Graph visualization and exploration tool.
    • Neo4j Graph Data Science Library: Algorithms for analyzing and extracting insights from graph data.
    • Neo4j AuraDB for Google Cloud: Fully managed graph database service hosted on Google Cloud.
