Types of Databases

Different types of databases#

There are numerous types of databases that are available to the application developers, catering to specific use cases. These are:

• Document-oriented database
• Key-value datastore
• Wide-column database
• Relational database
• Graph database
• Time-series database
• Databases dedicated to mobile apps and so on.

In the polyglot persistence lesson, we understood the need for different types of databases. We also covered relational databases in-depth and discussed when to pick a relational one.

Let’s have insights into the other remaining types of databases and the use cases that fit them. So, without any further ado, let’s get on with it.
