How to choose the right NoSQL database
NoSQL databases arose in response to the limitations of using SQL (Structured Query Language) for database queries. NoSQL databases store and manage data in ways that enable high operational speed and a level of flexibility not found in traditional relational database management systems (RDBMSs).
A recent report by Allied Market Research notes the demand for NoSQL databases is on the rise. In 2022, the worldwide NoSQL market generated $7.3 billion in sales, and is estimated to generate $86.3 billion by 2032—a compound annual growth rate of 28 percent for that period. Key factors driving global NoSQL market growth, according to the report, are the exploding demand for big data analytics, a need for more scalable and flexible enterprise database solutions, and the ubiquity of cloud computing platforms and technology.
