ABOUT THE TALK

• Databases

Which database should you choose? This question has evolved from theoretical debates to practical decisions based on facts. Technology has advanced significantly—SQL databases now support JSON, while NoSQL databases have integrated ACID properties. PostgreSQL and MongoDB represent the most common choices today, both widely adopted as standard APIs for managed database services. We will explore differences between these approaches, comparing interactive SQL transactions versus document-based design, examining internal storage performance implications, and considering how team expertise influences choices. Our goal is to clarify how to utilize each option effectively for modern applications' agility, scalability, and performance requirements, helping you select the database your team will be most comfortable using efficiently.
