Performance tuning
Performance tuning is a critical aspect of DevOps for both relational and non-relational databases. However, there are some unique challenges around performance tuning for non-relational databases. Here are three challenges specific to non-relational databases, along with explanations and code snippets.
Data modeling for performance
One of the unique challenges of performance tuning for non-relational databases is data modeling for performance. Unlike relational databases, non-relational databases often have flexible schema models that can be optimized for different types of queries and access patterns. However, this also means that performance tuning may require specialized knowledge of the data model and how it maps to the underlying storage and retrieval mechanisms.
To address this challenge, DevOps teams may use specialized tools and techniques for data modeling and query optimization in non-relational databases. For example, graph databases such as...
