Relational databases have long been the preferred technology for storing, retrieving, and querying data. They enable users to organize information using a structured and well-defined pattern or model. While this approach is highly effective for standardized data that is understood in advance—for instance, a hospital check-in application managing patient records with consistent fields such as patient ID, first and last names, and date of the last visit—it has limitations. For organizations dealing with undefined incoming data, such as a startup's online inquiry form that constantly experiments with adding and removing fields to adapt to business needs, rigid pre-defined structures become problematic. Such scenarios require frequent redefinition of data schemas, including structures and allowed data types, before any new data can be stored.
This is where NoSQL (Not Only SQL) databases come into play. They liberate users from the need to predefine data structures, allowing for the insertion and updating of new data in real time. NoSQL databases typically offer greater speed than relational databases and can manage vast amounts of data effortlessly. Thanks to their ability to efficiently partition data across multiple servers (clusters) and balance the load, they also scale more effectively. Additionally, NoSQL databases integrate particularly well with applications supporting real-time analytics, site personalization, IoT, and mobile platforms.
In this instructor-led live training, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the architecture, design principles, and functionality of the most popular NoSQL databases. Through a live lab environment, participants will set up, operate, and assess various NoSQL databases. The primary goal is to empower participants to intelligently evaluate, propose, and implement a suitable NoSQL database solution within their organization.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure various types of NoSQL databases, including MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, and Neo4j
- Evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of NoSQL databases compared to relational databases
- Understand the underlying data formats used by NoSQL databases and how to leverage these formats when developing modern applications (desktop, mobile, cloud, IoT)
- Perform create, insert, update, and delete operations within a NoSQL database
- Set up a hybrid environment where relational and NoSQL databases work in tandem
- Configure a NoSQL database cluster to distribute the processing of large datasets
- Understand the security implications of using NoSQL databases
- Deploy and scale a NoSQL database in a production environment
Audience
- Database professionals
- Data architects
- Data strategists
- Project managers
- Application developers seeking to integrate a flexible database solution into their applications
Format of the Course
- A mix of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
