Deployment automation

Deployment automation is an important aspect of DevOps for both relational and non-relational databases, but there are some unique challenges around deployment automation for non-relational databases. Here are three challenges specific to non-relational databases, along with explanations and code snippets.

Deployment of multiple database engines

Non-relational databases often have different database engines, each with its own set of deployment and management requirements. For example, a NoSQL database such as Cassandra may have different deployment requirements than a document-oriented database such as MongoDB.

Deploying and managing multiple database engines can be challenging, as it requires specialized knowledge and expertise for each engine. Additionally, it can be difficult to maintain consistency across different database engines, especially if they have different APIs and query languages.

To address this challenge, DevOps teams may use configuration...
