This Introduction to NoSQL Databases training is designed to help participants understand modern non-relational database technologies and their role in scalable, cloud-native, and big data applications. The course covers NoSQL concepts, data models, key-value, document, column-family, and graph databases, along with use cases, architecture patterns, and operational considerations. Participants will gain hands-on exposure to multiple NoSQL platforms to make informed technology and architecture decisions.

• Understand the architecture, data models, and distributed storage capabilities of NoSQL Databases for modern application  development.
• Set up and configure NoSQL database environments, clusters, collections, and data storage components for scalable application  workflows.
• Design document, key-value, column-family, and graph-based data models using NoSQL development approaches.
• Implement data storage, query execution, replication, indexing, and distributed database workflows effectively.
• Debug, test, and optimize database queries, storage configurations, and cluster performance for scalability, reliability, and  maintainability.
• Build secure, flexible, and production-ready NoSQL database solutions using industry best practices.
