Manish R. Sharma · Apress eBooks · 2018
NoSQL was conceived to address issues related to scalability, durability, and performance. However, even highly performant systems are limited by the computing capacity available from an on-premise machine or a virtual machine in the cloud. In the cloud, having a massive compute-capacity PaaS is the most desirable option, as, in this case, one needn’t worry about scalability, performance, and availability. All of these will be provided by the cloud service provider.
