Schema Design Data Stores

First, we will discuss why schema design is so important and the key role it plays in the work of a data engineer. You will also learn that even NoSQL storage requires a well-thought-out schema - it helps create a maintainable structure and avoid the “data swamp.”

Then we will take a detailed look at how to design schemas for various types of storage:

• relational databases,
• NoSQL storage,
• columnar storage,
• document databases,
• key-value storage,
• and data warehouses.

You will learn how to approach schema design for different tasks and architectures.

By mastering this course along with materials from "Choosing Data Stores," you will be able not only to choose the right storage for the task but also design an efficient and logical schema for it. This will help you optimize data storage and access within your platform.
