Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the main activities and challenges involved in working with non-relational databases as part of a DevOps team. We covered five areas of concern – data modeling, schema management, deployment automation, performance tuning, and security. For each of these areas, we identified three unique challenges that are specific to non-relational databases and explained why they exist. We provided in-depth explanations and code snippets for each challenge to illustrate the complexities involved. Overall, we emphasized that working with non-relational databases requires specialized knowledge and skills, as well as that DevOps teams may need to use custom tools and techniques to ensure that data is managed effectively and securely.

In summary, working with non-relational databases as part of the DevOps team involves specific challenges that differ from those of relational databases. Non-relational databases offer greater flexibility and scalability...
