PROGRAMMINGNoSQL continues to get more and more coverage as scalability issues arise from popular web applications that have witnessed a need for a massive amount of basic primary key queries that return a single row of data. With less of a need for the extraneous features of a traditional relational database, many web applications, to improve performance, have moved to a hashmap-style datastore that stores values based on a key. While NoSQL databases provide a simple mechanism of storing and retrieving data, many organizations implement a relational database in addition to a key-value-store in a mixed-use environment when complex queries are necessary. The relative immaturity of NoSQL technologies compared to the long history of relational database techonolgies makes using them in production a risk.
