NoSQL Database Design

Move beyond tables. Master Document, Key-Value, Graph, and Column-family stores to handle unstructured data and high-scale requirements.

Relational databases aren't always the answer. This course explores the NoSQL landscape, teaching you to select the right database for the right job. You will master schema design for MongoDB (Document), caching strategies with Redis (Key-Value), and relationship modeling with Neo4j (Graph). Learn to model data based on access patterns rather than normalization, ensuring your applications can scale horizontally and handle massive throughput without performance bottlenecks.

NoSQL Database Design FAQs

SQL vs NoSQL?

SQL for structured/relational; NoSQL for scale/flexibility.

Is MongoDB enough?

It's the most popular, but we cover others too.

Hard to learn?

Easier start than SQL, but hard to master modeling.

ACID compliant?

Some are, but usually with eventual consistency.
