Are you storing data from IoT devices? Running a digital content management system? What about handling configuration data or recording inventory or transaction information? Or maybe dealing with just about any other system handling or generating data? If your data needs to be stored and accessed, you’ll need some sort of a database.

Chances are, you already know this. But if you haven’t looked at databases recently, you may be surprised at how the landscape has changed. It’s no longer just a battle between monolithic relational database vendors. In fact, the popularity of non-relational databases is on the rise, more than doubling over the last five years; however, only one (MongoDB) is in the top five overall (relational and non-relational combined).
