NoSQL
Introduction
In the ever-evolving world of technology, data has become the backbone of numerous industries. As the volume and complexity of data continue to grow exponentially, traditional relational databases have started to show limitations in terms of scalability and flexibility. This has paved the way for the emergence of NoSQL databases, offering a new approach to data storage and retrieval. In this blog post, we will explore the rise of NoSQL databases, their advantages, and their impact on the industry.
