NoSQL has been given a lot of hype in recent years. As with most new technologies, the
underlying principles are rarely truly new, rather, it is the unique combination of known
technologies that forms and transforms the whole to become more than the sum of its
parts. This is especially true for MySQL 8 and the new MySQL Document Store. Never
has MySQL offered so much for so many. Whether you want a traditional relational
database solution with a strong foundation or you want the ultimate flexibility to store
JSON documents in a document store—or anywhere in between, MySQL can do it.
The trick then is learning how to migrate your applications using each of these
technologies: whether you use traditional tables with fixed schemas or you have some
JSON fields to allow some freedom from rigid structure or you employ the flexibility of a
JSON-based document store.
This book will give you the knowledge you seek to navigate the MySQL Document
Store including how to migrate existing applications and best practices for using a
document store solution. |
