Application That Works Best With NoSQL Database - 3.1

NoSQL databases, which stand for Not Only SQL, provide a flexible and scalable alternative to traditional relational databases, particularly for applications requiring high data volume and agility, such as social networking platforms. They are designed to handle unstructured data and can efficiently manage large amounts of information across distributed systems, making them suitable for various domains including e-commerce, IoT, and real-time data analysis. The use of NoSQL databases offers businesses a competitive advantage by enabling rapid data processing and analysis, essential for modern applications.

Application that works best with NoSQL Database

NoSQL - Stands for Not Only SQL

A NoSQL database enables for storage and retrieval of data which is modeled other than the tabular
storage as used in traditional databases, it has no or lesser dependency on external table to fetch or
store data.

NoSQL handles business requirements like:


 Huge and every growing data
 Agility in retrieving the data and serving it.
 Synthesize and analyse the data or expose the data to 3rd party tool for analysis
 Cater to specific need of customer with high availability.

Imagine all above scenario for a social networking application like twitter, Facebook where data is
generated in unstructured way and accessed constantly. Every day - every hour
the data generated is unique, stored and served back.

Hence when business requires a very agile way of data handling, processing and delivery system,
NoSQL is a cost-effective solution.

Data flexibility, scalability and speed are synonyms to NoSQL. NoSQL database, when methodically
distributed over zones, can scale, meet the demanding hits, and provide data on the fly, and gives
low latency required for real time interface with your customers.

Some challenges addressed by NoSQL below:


 Twitter app generating 7 Tbs plus of daily tweets and displaying it back.
 Property details in a Real-estate website, redundant in nature but accessed in huge
numbers.
 Online Coupon sites distributing coupons to open market.
 Update of railway schedules and accessed by thousands of users at peak time.
 Real time score update of baseball / cricket match.

NoSQL is an alternative to traditional database and is a more cost-friendly approach. Here the data
can easily grow by distributing itself over lots of ordinary and cheap, cloud servers.

Plus, NoSQL database is exactly the type of database that can handle the sort of unstructured,
spaghetti and unpredictable data (eg user data/tweet) that meets business requirement.

Big decision is where to put NoSQL?


Apply it in applications / tools / website where high volume of data needs to be handle with high
performance and high availability.
There are 4 basic types of NoSQL databases:

Another criterion to choose NoSQL is assessment of project or volume generated:

 Their data storage needs cannot be fulfilled by one machine.


 Number of operations cannot be fulfilled by one machine.
 The availability requirements cannot be fulfilled by one machine.
 The data updates are too frequent and have no latency time.

Sample Scenario ( Classified website ):

A typical classified website has visitors and registered user coming for separate categories. Some
users might be coming to list the property and others viewing the list with random surfing. The
business owner needs to caters all the request and data that is generated by visitors and backend
administrator.
The challenge for such owner will be:
1) Manage availability of fresh and constantly growing website data.
2) Availability of older and historical data.
3) Generate website usage patterns and analysis.
4) Keep the website performance up to mark to keep the competition at bay.
5) Handle and analyse structure date eg – listing & unstructured data eg web page visit pattern.
6) Possibility to add and reduce category, geographic division and new sub domain.

The above scenario is an ideal scenario for using NoSQL for every growing data with agility to serve
back the data with speed.
NoSQL can easily be deployed in Various domains and to name a few are:
 Detecting Fraud in ecommerce - algorithm rules, client information / location, transaction
information, last device usage etc.
 Digital data, Mobile data and Communication
 Analyses of huge unstructured data for social tracking and trends.
 Internet of Things. (IOT)
 Ecommerce, hotels, travel - Catalog availability
 Real-Time Big Data Accessibility and management. - NoSQL can be deployed at Frontend
that can store and serve operational data from multi source.
 NoSQL can also be deployed at the Backend to aggregate, store and create analysis and
results.

A NoSQL database environment is, simply put, a non-relational and largely distributed database
system that enables rapid, ad-hoc organization and analysis of extremely high-volume, disparate
data types. NoSQL databases are sometimes referred to as cloud databases, non-relational
databases, Big Data databases and a myriad of other terms and were developed in response to the
sheer volume of data being generated, stored and analysed by modern users (user-generated data)
and their applications (machine-generated data).

In general, NoSQL databases have become the first alternative to relational databases, with
scalability, availability, and fault tolerance being key deciding factors. They go well beyond the more
widely understood legacy, relational databases (such as Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 databases) in
satisfying the needs of today’s modern business applications. A very flexible and schema-less data
model, horizontal scalability, distributed architectures, and the use of languages and interfaces that
are “not only” SQL typically characterize this technology.

From a business standpoint, considering a NoSQL or ‘Big Data’ environment has been shown to
provide a clear competitive advantage in numerous industries. In the ‘age of data’, this is compelling
information as a great saying about the importance of data is summed up with the following “if your
data isn’t growing then neither is your business”.
