Emerging Database Technologies

This section explores the cutting-edge of database technology, covering new categories of databases designed to solve modern problems, particularly in the realms of AI, real-time data, and serverless architectures.

🗂️ Topics Covered

• Vector Databases: A new type of database designed to store, manage, and search high-dimensional vector embeddings, which are fundamental to AI applications like semantic search, recommendation systems, and large language models (LLMs).
• Streaming Databases: Databases designed to ingest, process, and analyze data in real-time as it arrives, enabling continuous intelligence and real-time applications.
• Serverless Databases: A new generation of cloud databases that abstract away all infrastructure management, offering true pay-per-use pricing and automatic scaling.

Understanding these emerging trends is crucial for staying current and designing next-generation applications.
