NoSQL Database Benchmarking: Key/value in an Application-building Environment

Abstract

Abstract The proportion of data generated is constantly growing as the number and variety of connected devices increase, advances in data storage and mining supporting this evolution bring along the development of new techniques for searching and accessing data and realizing applications. This article was developed to carry out a comparative analysis of three databases: Redis, CouchBase, and Amazon DynamoDB to provide key characteristics to choose the right key-value NoSQL system for the type of applications, data used, and data processing. This was done through qualitative and quantitative research by expressing the results through comparative tables with characteristics that were obtained through a literature review and defined by the authors after the use of each of the databases. It can be concluded from the study of quantitative data that DynamoBD is highly rated for its ease of use, easy configuration, automatic retrieval, and data replication. However, in the qualitative data, CouchBase is the best option for the user considering it is cross-platform and can be adapted to websites, apps, etc.
