M. Pustułka, Mariusz Trzaska · 2018
In the last decades, relational databases were the most obvious choice for business applications. Times have changed and we should learn to use new models. Nowadays, we are living in the connected world, with tons of data related to each other. Moreover, in the emerging trend of using containers and enormous popularity of the cloud systems we can finally increase the performance of our solutions while decreasing costs. In this paper, authors have presented a new approach to improve overall performance and usability of databases. Results of the analysis are based on repeatable and verifiable observation of REST-based interactions with four products: Neo4j, MongoDB, Azure Cosmos DB and Microsoft SQL Server.
