Trying to decide between SQL and NoSQL for your next project or system design interview? Learn about well-structured data, ACID compliance, and horizontal scaling considerations.
The strengths of SQL databases include their relational nature, well-structured data, and ACID compliance. Still, they could be more effective for storing and querying unstructured data and challenging to scale horizontally.
NoSQL databases are more flexible and better suited for storing unstructured data, with horizontal scaling made easier by distributed databases. However, NoSQL databases can suffer from eventual consistency issues in write-heavy systems.
