Choosing an appropriate database is not based on a simple decision tree where you can just decide simply that if we have structured data then we will use relational database; if we have a semi-structured or unstructured data we will use maybe something like NoSQL. Also, it is not as simple as saying that since we need ACID requirements we will choose relational database and if we don’t need ACID requirements and we can live with eventual consistency let’s choose a NoSQL database.
There are multiple different criteria that we have to go through in parallel and we have to to weigh different choices of databases that we have that how those databases will fulfill all those criteria or requirements that we
have and after that we have to come up with an appropriate database for our service.
You also need to understand that sometimes you may be in a situation where you will have to choose between two databases and none of them is appropriate for your requirements but in that case you have to see which of the database among these two databases is more appropriate as compared to the other for your requirements.
We choose a database technology for a distributed system based on the following criteria:
- Ease of Learning Curve
- Product Maturity and Technical Support
- Data Model or Schema Support
- Scalability Support
- Query and Data Access Patterns
- Read/Write Priority
- Cost of Database Usage
- ACID vs BASE requirements
If you want to learn in detail about these criteria for selecting database for your distributed service, please check the following Youtube video:
