NoSQL databases can store nonrelational data on a super large scale and solve problems regular databases can't handle: indexing the entire internet, predicting subscriber behavior, or targeting ads on a platform as large as Facebook. But with over 150 NoSQL database types, it can be hard for a SQL professional to know where to start. In this course, Lynn Langit breaks down these types into a few main categories and shows how to get your own NoSQL database up and running with easy-to-configure cloud solutions. Learn how to add and query data, apply the CAP theorem with NoSQL, and leverage key NoSQL trends such as multifunctionality and data lake NoSQL alternatives. Plus, explore AWS and GCP NoSQL database services such as DynamoDB, ElastiCache, and Bigtable.
The course begins with an introduction to NoSQL, and then delves into the specifics of document, wide-column, and graph databases. Learn key details for performing data preparation, exploration, and extraction for each type of NoSQL database. Review case studies that show how to use various NoSQL databases with popular data science tools, including the document database MongoDB, the wide-column database Cassandra, and the graph database Neo4j.
Topics include:
- NoSQL compared to traditional relational databases
- Performing common data science tasks
- Preparing data with document databases
- Manipulating data in NoSQL
- Preparing, exploring, extracting, and model building
- Working with document, wide-column, and graph databases
- Reviewing case studies using MongoDB, Cassandra, and Neo4j
As the shiny new object in the data world, you might have heard a lot of people talk excitedly about NoSQL and all the things it can do. It’s great in terms of flexibility, speed, and is easy to work with. It’s super scalable, so it can accommodate increased numbers of users as websites and applications grow. But will it replace SQL? Will it make relational databases obsolete? In this course, Mel McGee explains just exactly what NoSQL is, the pros and cons, and tradeoffs you’ll make when using NoSQL. Mel takes a high-level approach without delving into the details of any one NoSQL query language or solution, so if you’re a developer looking for a bigger picture of NoSQL, or an entrepreneur wanting to explore options for your product, or just plain curious about non-relational databases, this course is for you.
