This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of various database types, comparing document and relational databases, and discusses practical experiences with systems like MongoDB and SQLite. It covers critical concepts such as transaction guarantees, the implications of isolation levels, and the challenges of managing data consistency. Additionally, the chapter addresses the nuanced considerations of data loss and availability in business contexts, highlighting the balance between risk and optimal performance.
