And yet my Uni treats it like the biggest thing in existence. Meanwhile I've never used anything other than RDBS and Redis (only for cache), neither in private nor at work.

    MongoDB is huge though for all the wrong reasons, businesses think that just because it's JS, they can just have frontend devs - sorry, they are "fullstack" now - doing DBA work.

    I worked as one of two NoSQL DBAs for a Fortune 50 finance company, and there is a ton of CV-driven development going on giving NoSQL a bad name. Most use cases don't need NoSQL. And for those which do, NoSQL is almost always harder to implement than simple SQL based RDBMSs.

    If you need to run queries that aggregate big amounts of data in a reasonable time and cost, you'll need something built for it. For example, with a column oriented file format instead of the row oriented file format found in traditional relational databases
