NoSQL Database
Definition.
NoSQL Database: A non-relational database that provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases.
In Practice
PostgreSQL's JSONB columns cover most of the flexibility clients actually want from a NoSQL database, while keeping the transactional guarantees of a relational database — I default to Postgres and only reach for a dedicated NoSQL store when there's a specific reason to.
