Using NoSQL and Embedded Databases to Prevent Corrupted Systems

As IoT engineers cram more data analysis onto devices to enable better decision making in the moment, there’s a renewed focus on database protocols that accelerate queries and prevent information loss. In July 2021 Couchbase became the latest embedded database provider to try its luck on the trading floor, raising $200 million in its Nasdaq listing. Couchbase focuses on providing multi-model databases, documents records and key value stores for enterprises building mission-critical IoT applications. Among Couchbase’s clients is the Irish budget airline Ryanair, which implemented the technology to direct airline data in its memory-constrained smartphone booking app. Ryanair claims mobile bookings that had taken 5 minutes to complete were reduced to 30 seconds, even without a reliable network connection.
