What you'll learn

Many modern applications demand fast, scalable data storage, but traditional relational databases can’t always deliver the performance or flexibility required.

In this course, NoSQL Foundations: Key-value Databases, you’ll gain the ability to model and manage data using high-performance key-value NoSQL databases.

First, you’ll explore the core concepts behind key-value databases and how they differ from other NoSQL types.

Next, you’ll discover how to use key-value engines like Redis, DynamoDB, and RocksDB to store and retrieve data.

Finally, you’ll learn how to apply key-value patterns such as caching, session management, and high-volume ingestion in real-world scenarios.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of key-value databases needed to design efficient, scalable solutions for modern applications.
