NoSQL Do’s and Don’ts

In this article I’ll be explaining about Do’s and Don’ts about NoSQL. Essentially I will be talking about the set of circumstances, the scenarios where NoSQL Database makes the most sense and the scenarios where it really doesn’t make a lot of sense and where relational databases would in fact be more appropriate. By sketching out the different scenarios for the different types of databases, you’ll then be in a good position to understand, based on whether your requirement is exposed to one set of scenarios, the other set or both, whether NoSQL databases are appropriate for your organization and for your requirements.

In my previous article I explained about categories of NoSQL Databases and in this series of articles I’ll explain all four categories in details.

Let’s look at the essentially key-value stores. Which are really the most common and the most foundational, and also the most general purpose of NoSQL Database.
