Database Design Tips | Choosing the Best Database in a System Design Interview

One of the most important things in a System Design interview is to choose the right Database for the right use case. Here is a cheat sheet that can help you choose the right DB for most of the use cases that you can encounter.
Summary of the video: www.codekarle.com/system-desi...
Author: / sandeep1904
We do over some important topics like which database you should use, in what scenarios, in a System Design Interview. Some comparisons between SQL and NoSQL databases, how to use multiple databases together in a real-world system, etc.

    Just in case someone is still confused when to use column based DBs here's a little explaination: Consider a database which has a large volume of data with 100 columns. And your application most of the time just queries only a few columns (let’s say 4-5 columns). Then in case of document DBs or row based DBs (relational Dbs) all data will be loaded row by row in main memory for processing , parsing and other operations. It will be a waste of a lot of effort in loading and processing of unnecessary columns. Column based DBs are used to tackle this problem where a large amount of data is stored in column based fashion so that the application can query only a few columns of large volume of data. - reference: Designing Data-Intensive Applications. by Martin Kleppmann.

    Thanks for creating such an insightful video. There are few things that I would suggest adding to all the important points that you have mentioned: 1> Write Heavy vs Read Heavy systems is also an important point to consider for database selection. We cannot write scale RDBMS (as generally in RDBMS the write is on the single primary instance). For DocumentDB, we need sharding to write scale it which can be done but are not so natural as it is in ColumnarDB like Cassandra where we need to mandatorily choose the partition key during the data modelling itself. So for write heavy systems I prefer to go with Cassandra if I don't need ACID. For write heavy systems that need ACID we should choose RDBMS with multi master configuration and for that application needs to take care of bifurcating the data to the appropriate master based on the decided key. 2> Graph database for mapping social network type of data.

    Those who prefer AWS Managed Services. Here, is the list Blob Storage : AWS S3 Caching : AWS ElasticCache Full Text Searching : AWS ElasticSearch Time Series Database : AWS TimeStream Analytical Databases : AWS Redshift ( It depends, sometimes we can use AWS S3 for storing large csv files and then we can use AWS ElasticMapReduce(EMR) to process S3 Files) RDMS (Relational Databse) : AWS Aurora Document Database : AWS DynamoDB Columnar Database : Not sure, I think AWS DynamoDB will satisfy this requirement too.

    Thanks for the video. It's worth stressing on is the consistency aspect of databases. RDBMS's provide strong consistency, whereas a NoSQL like Casandra provides eventual consistency, but higher availability owing to its masterless model, and thus lack of a single point of failure. HBase, on the other hand, is a single-leader system with a single-point of failure.
