Choosing The Right Database For Your Project

Not all databases are created equal, and choosing the wrong one can cause more problems than it solves. In this talk, I will walk us through the big-picture differences between major database types and what kinds of projects they’re best suited for. From relational to document-based to key-value stores and beyond, you’ll get a clearer idea of what’s out there and how to make the right call for your next build.

This session is perfect for developers, engineers, and anyone who’s ever wondered whether they’re really using the right tool for the job. No deep dive into indexes or query optimization here: just a solid, high-level look at the options and how to think through your decision-making process.

Determining the correct database type for your project

Determining the correct database type can be overwhelming. What is the difference between them and why should one be chosen over another? Why choose a relational database over a graphical or document database? In this presentation, we will be diving into what are the benefits and drawbacks of various databases.
