Benefits of Using DBMS

Choosing the Right DBMS

When selecting a DBMS for your project, consider:

  1. The type of data you'll be storing (structured vs. unstructured)
  2. Scalability requirements for your application
  3. Performance needs for read and write operations
  4. Support for ACID properties if needed
  5. Integration capabilities with your existing tech stack
