Introduction to NoSQL Databases
This course will provide you with technical hands-on knowledge of NoSQL databases and Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings. With the advent of Big Data and agile development methodologies, NoSQL databases have gained a lot of relevance in the database landscape. Their main advantage is the ability to effectively handle scalability and flexibility issues raised by modern applications. You will start by learning the history and the basics of NoSQL databases and discover their key characteristics and benefits. You will learn about the four categories of NoSQL databases and how they differ from each other. You will explore the architecture and features of several different implementations of NoSQL databases, namely MongoDB, Cassandra, and IBM Cloudant. You will then get hands-on experience using those NoSQL databases to perform standard database management tasks, such as creating and replicating databases, loading and querying data, modifying database permissions, indexing and aggregating data, and sharding (or partitioning) data.
Differentiate between the four main categories of NoSQL repositories.
Describe the characteristics, features, benefits, limitations, and applications of the more popular Big Data processing tools.
Perform common tasks using MongoDB tasks including create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
Execute keyspace, table, and CRUD operationsin Cassandra.

Reviews
Great course with Great Learning. Mentors and Teachers are Perfect.
The course is great material, explanations and quizzes. The problem with this course is technical. You will face some problems with ibm cloud.
Ita really amazing course specially for that one who want to explore things related to offline-database, cloud -base and web access
Useful lab for skimming through different databases. The session of Cloudant, however, looks more like a sales material... This course is overall very good!
