Welcome to the Cloud Native Database Guide! This guide is designed to help you understand the principles and practices of building and managing databases in a cloud native environment.
What is Cloud Native Database?
A cloud native database is a database that is designed to run in a cloud environment, taking advantage of the scalability, resilience, and efficiency that cloud computing offers. It is characterized by its ability to be easily deployed, scaled, and managed in a cloud environment.
Key Features
- Scalability: Cloud native databases can scale up or down based on demand, ensuring that your application always has the resources it needs.
- Resilience: They are designed to be highly available and fault-tolerant, ensuring that your data is always accessible.
- Efficiency: Cloud native databases are optimized for cloud environments, providing efficient resource utilization and performance.
Types of Cloud Native Databases
- Relational Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
- NoSQL Databases: MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.
- NewSQL Databases: CockroachDB, VoltDB, etc.
