Episode 73 — Non-Relational Databases: Key/Value and Document Models

In this episode, we examine non-relational databases and their importance in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. Key/value stores and document databases offer flexible structures ideal for handling unstructured or semi-structured data, such as logs, multimedia content, or JSON documents.

We’ll compare these models to relational systems, explaining why they’re often chosen for high-performance web applications and large-scale distributed environments. Knowing when to recommend non-relational options will help you answer scenario-based questions with precision. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
