What Database Type Should You Use?

There are a few factors that go into choosing a database for your project. SQL vs NoSQL, vertical vs horizontally scalable, open-source vs proprietary, and run the database yourself vs a managed cloud service. In this video, we walk through the options and the reasons you might choose each.

Dolt is a version controlled database. With Dolt, you get all the convenience of Git-style source code control in your database, for both data and schema. Imagine your database supercharged with the ability to branch, merge, and rollback without any additional tooling. Dolt also makes diffing data easy. No more wondering how your data changed, when it happened, and what or who changed it. That's Dolt! Now imagine what you can build with Dolt.
