    The MongoDB Database

  • To use NoSQL databases with code, you first need to choose a NoSQL database that suits your requirements. Some popular examples of NoSQL databases are MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, and DynamoDB. Each of these databases has its own set of APIs and drivers that can be used to interact with them. Here, I'll use MongoDB as an example and explain how to perform CRUD operations using Python and its PyMongo package.

  • Redis

    Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
