Development teams building online and operational applications are increasingly choosing a new class of databases to support them. It is called "NoSQL" or "Not Only SQL" and includes non-SQL databases such as Redis,MongoDB. Choosing the right database from the available NoSQL solutions is one of the most important decisions you can make when designing a new application. Therefore, if you are evaluating the NoSQL database, please read on, and the following suggestions will help you make your choice.

When selecting a database, you can follow these five high-level steps:

Define the target of the NoSQL database.

Determine throughput and latency requirements.

Select the correct database for the project.

Choose between a managed service provider or do-it-yourself (DIY).

Determine the best deployment model for your situation.

1 define the goal of the database

The purpose of using NoSQL databases may be to provide a personalized digital experience for thousands of users on mobile devices; to store data for applications that process back-end payments; to manage temporary data for short periods; or to store persistent data as a recording system. You can even involve multiple types of databases in the same data pipeline for a particular scenario. No matter which scenario you use, including how to collect, extract useful data for analysis, and define specific functions of the NoSQL database in the data pipeline is very important.

2 determine throughput and latency requirements

In this day and age, users are looking forward to instant experience. Typically, this requires the response time of your application
