NoSQL: Businesses Migrate to More Agile ‘New Stack’ Technologies
As data sizes grow, many businesses are evaluating whether they should migrate their RDBMS databases to NoSQL.
Not all, but many existing RDBMS installed databases are proprietary and expensive. Most NoSQL databases are open source and cheaper.
RDBMS databases are based on table structures and require a pre-defined schema. NoSQL databases are more flexible because they use key-value or document-based structures.
Brian Hess, the strategic solution engineer at DataStax, said that “when relational databases came out and really put some structure and formalism around these systems, they really made some promises about what they’re offering to applications and data owners that struggle when you get to scale. And this is fine, when the data was measured in in kilobytes, megabytes, even gigabytes. But as we get into bigger datasets, we really have problems.”
Morgan Stanley Research forecasts that many businesses will migrate their applications to use ‘New Stack’ technologies, one element of which is NoSQL. A major reason for the migration is that developers are more productive with technologies like NoSQL and they are able to develop and maintain applications more easily using an agile approach.
Sanjit Singh, analyst at Morgan Stanley, said that “we see New Stack technologies as key beneficiaries, given the critical role they play in increasing development velocity, enhancing developer productivity and automating IT operations.”
