About the Course

Get started with NoSQL Databases with this beginner-friendly introductory course! This course will provide technical, hands-on knowledge of NoSQL databases and Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings. With the advent of Big Data and agile development methodologies, NoSQL databases have gained a lot of relevance in the database landscape. Their main advantage is the ability to handle scalability and flexibility issues modern applications raise. You will start this course by learning the history and the basics of NoSQL databases (document, key-value, column, and graph) and discover their key characteristics and benefits. You will learn about the four categories of NoSQL databases and how they differ. You’ll also explore the differences between the ACID and BASE consistency models, the pros and cons of distributed systems, and when to use RDBMS and NoSQL. You will also learn about vector databases, an emerging class of databases popular in AI. Next, you will explore the architecture and features of several implementations of NoSQL databases, namely MongoDB, Cassandra, and IBM Cloudant. You will learn about the common tasks that they each perform and their key and defining characteristics. You will then get hands-on experience using those NoSQL databases to perform standard database management tasks, such as creating and replicating databases, loading and querying data, modifying database permissions, indexing and aggregating data, and sharding (or partitioning) data. At the end of this course, you will complete a final project where you will apply all your knowledge of the course content to a specific scenario and work with several NoSQL databases. This course suits anyone wanting to expand their Data Management and Information Technology skill set....

Useful lab for skimming through different databases. The session of Cloudant, however, looks more like a sales material... This course is overall very good!

I should say then is not totally for beginner. Maybe intermediate level, some skills of programming are necessary to don't get stuck at the last assessment.

The course discusses four types of NoSQL databases but provides training on one type, the document database. Fortunately, this course offers an excellent introduction to three different NoSQL document databases: MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, and IBM Cloudant. Between the videos and hands-on labs, I am confident enough to begin using any of these databases. I would have given the course five stars if it included training on other types of NoSQL databases.

As introductory course it is quite good. It is really covering all fundamental concepts of NoSQL databases. Sandbox is available as for all IBM courses. If AI generated voice would be slightly slower it would be better. Exercises in module 4 and 5 are a bit messed up. I assume it is because module 5 used to be mandatory and before module 4.

Good overview of 3 NoSQL databases but this course should be taken as a starting point to go deeper on these technologies. The theoretical explanations are very good.

Content OK. But...labs submission method based on screenshots is very outdated compared to other courses on Coursera, and really cumbersome.
