NoSQL databases

NoSQL databases are a type of database designed to handle large volumes of diverse and rapidly changing data that traditional databases may struggle with. Unlike relational databases that store data in structured tables with fixed rows and columns, NoSQL databases use flexible formats like documents, key-value pairs, graphs, or wide-column stores. This flexibility allows for faster, scalable, and more efficient data management, especially for applications like social media, real-time analytics, or IoT devices, where data complexity and volume grow quickly and require adaptable storage solutions.
