NoSQL playground
An encouragement guide introducing 3 popular NoSQL databases to Java developers
Hard to imagine a microservices based project without at least one NoSQL database. It feels like they’ve taken dominance over old fashioned relational SQL databases. However, DB-Engines ranking still has SQL databases as top 4 most used (image 1.1.), but this is mostly due to legacy projects maintaining their existing databases and licenses, and not being able to justify the budget for migration. This conclusion can be linked with the trend chart (1.2.), which shows that in the last 6 years most popular SQL databases have gained no momentum, while NoSQL databases are on the constant rise.
