Sql or NoSql — Best Database for Startups?

🎙 Ep4 – 10x Engineering️ — ft. Kanav (SVP) & Rishabh (VP)

Can we still have a world without NoSQL?

In this episode, Kanav (SVP Engg, UC) and Rishabh (VP Engg, UC) talk through whether we can use SQL/RDBMS for all current use cases. They explore SQL databases and discuss whether they can work when data becomes more unstructured and non relational and especially when NoSQL stores give the advantages of multiple modes. On the flipside, can we always use NoSQL databases for all scenarios and do away with SQL stores all together?

You will hear about:

• What use cases best suit an SQL vs a NoSQl database
• What factors impact the choice of database (like field types, data size, throughput, availability and consistency)
• When to use what in the Nosql world – HBase, Mongo, Snowflake or Cassandra
