# NoSQL ### Benefits of NoSQL [^1] - NoSQL is a database system that does not use the traditional relational model.  - NoSQL databases are often used for big data applications that need to scale quickly.  - NoSQL databases can be faster and more scalable than relational databases. ### Cons of NoSQL [^1] - NoSQL databases are generally less mature than SQL databases and, as such, may lack some of the features and functionality that SQL databases offer.  - Additionally, because NoSQL databases are less standardized than SQL databases, it can be more challenging to find skilled personnel who can work with them. - And NoSQL databases may be less compatible with existing applications and infrastructure than SQL databases.
