Abstract: The exponential growth of data in the digital age, fueled by social media, smartphones, and cloud computing, has exposed the limitations of traditional Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) in managing the velocity, volume, and variety of data. This has led to the rise of NoSQL databases as a viable alternative. This article provides an overview of NoSQL databases, highlighting their key properties and various types, including key-value, column-oriented, document-oriented, and graph databases, along with their respective data models. Additionally, it discusses potential limitations such as restricted ACID transactions, proprietary APIs, and the trade-offs involved in the CAP theorem.
