Choosing the right database

Relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server)

Structured data with strong consistency and rich queries.

Best default for most business applications.

Document (MongoDB)

Flexible schemas for varied, nested data.

Best for content and rapidly evolving models.

Key-value & cache (Redis)

In-memory speed for sessions, queues and caching.

Best for performance and ephemeral data.

Search & analytics (Elasticsearch, warehouses)

Full-text search and large-scale analytics.

Best for discovery and reporting.
