With the big data education resource below, you can learn about data modelling in a NoSQL environment. Even though most NoSQL databases follow the “schema-free” data paradigma, what a database is really good at is determined by its underlying architecture and storage model. It is therefore important to choose a matching data model to get the best out of the underlying database technology. Application requirements such as consistency demands also need to be considered.
The video presentation provides an overview of different data storage models available in NoSQL databases. There will also be hands-on examples and experiments using key/value, document, and graph data structures.
No prior knowledge of NoSQL databases is required. Some basic experience with relational databases (like MySQL) or data modelling will be helpful but is not essential.
