A nice article as an intro but ...

Readers, keep in mind you should ignore the VS compares,they are not 2 excluding or replacing technologies, they are usually used in the same project for different data types. Other storages are keyvalue like redis, object storage like Amazon S3, file storage and Graph databases. Other times you'll need the entire history and use an event sourcing DB.

Do not try to squeeze all your requirement into a single bucket, use them all if needed,based on each system module needs.

As for large databases I suggest to read about the new cloud dbs like

  • dynamodb
  • Dybamodb accelerator
  • Aws aurora
  • Cloud bigtable
  • Cloud spanner
