Introducing the Database Selection Matrix is a decision framework designed to help teams evaluate database options for their applications. The matrix considers multiple criteria, including development considerations such as data model and query functionality, operational considerations like performance and scalability, commercial considerations like licensing and pricing, and more. The goal is to provide a systematic methodology for database evaluation, helping teams identify key requirements and guide selection. The Database Selection Matrix can be used by enterprises looking to navigate the complex landscape of modern databases and select the best option for their specific needs.
