How You Know You Need a Multi-Model Database

Organizations are increasingly moving from traditional relational database management systems (RDBMS) to multi-model databases due to the increasing volume and variety of data. Multi-model databases, which include NoSQL databases, enable companies to store, process, and analyze data as graphs, documents, key-value, and JSON files. These modern databases offer several advantages over RDBMS, including increased efficiency by consolidating infrastructure and reducing operational complexity, improved scalability for performance expansion or reduction, easier detection of relationships between different data formats, enhanced availability with fault tolerance, and greater flexibility in configuring infrastructure. Companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Capital One have adopted multi-model databases to power their operations.
