How to choose databases tools
Choose a database by workload first: transactional applications, analytics, search and caching need different trade-offs. A familiar product is not automatically the right storage model.
- Check the data model, query patterns and consistency your application needs.
- Compare managed hosting with self-hosting, including backups, upgrades and recovery tests.
- Estimate storage growth, query load, licensing and the cost of moving data later.
