In this chapter, we introduced the notion of a NoSQL database and considered some of the principles that go into the design of such a database. We now understand that there are many trade-offs to be considered in database design based on the specific use cases and types of workloads the database is being designed for. In the following chapters, we are going to be looking in detail at seven popular NoSQL databases. We will look at their architecture, data, and query models, as well as some practical tips on how you can get started using these databases, if they are a fit for your use case.
