NoSQL Databases: Why You Don’t Need Them

NoSQL is no longer the right tool for many modern application use cases, and it's time to move on from its limitations. NoSQL was initially developed to address scale problems in existing database systems, but it abandoned some of the core features of databases that make them highly performant and easy to use. Relational databases have evolved to create a scalable relational database that can handle nearly all workloads with scalability, reliability, and availability requirements. The relational model has stood the test of time and continues to add new innovations, such as SingleStore Universal Storage. New databases like SingleStore have proven that relational databases are easier to use and generally perform better than NoSQL systems for most use cases. The pressure from NoSQL forced the database community to solve the challenges of the cloud-scale world, leading to the evolution of relational databases.
