Demystifying NoSQL | IM | e | k

Description

Nosql databases are non-relational, open-source, distributed, schema-less, and cluster friendly databases. They are hugely popular today owing to their ability to scale out or scale horizontally and the adeptness at dealing with a rich variety of data: structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. They are malleable and flexible enough to accommodate sparse datasets, besides maintaining cost efficiency and availability.
