Description:

Before we can answer "what" a multi-model database is – we need to look at the "why." Traditional databases provide a fixed, static representation of data. However, as soon as you need to accommodate changes to data or downstream requirements, the fixed relational schema becomes an impediment. That gave rise to the NoSQL database — which offered a different database for each data model.

While you could use polyglot persistence to bundle different data models together to handle all data types, that introduces more complexity. Plus — document databases, graph databases and key-value stores all have their own niche — so how do you choose between them? A new solution is evolving — the multi-model database. What constitutes multi-model, and when is it useful?

In this webcast we will examine the two paths of multi-model database engineering: a single platform that allows many models on one core, versus complex integrations where many systems are pre-packaged.

You will learn:

• When a multi-model database is appropriate
• How each approach impacts DevOps, monitoring, performance tuning, and security
• How to handle data integration with a multi-model database
• Which skills you need, in order to manage a multi-model environment
