Data modeling for relational databases traditionally employs techniques such as entity-relationship diagrams and normalization, which have been refined over time. However, real-world applications often do not present data in fully normalized forms. Document databases, like Couchbase Server, offer more flexible storage options using JSON documents, suggesting that data modeling remains a crucial skill. For data modelers experienced with relational databases, this article aims to provide guidance on adapting their skills to model data effectively within document databases.
