NoSQL Schema Design/Evidence
Method evidence record

NoSQL Schema Design

NoSQL schema design is the practice of organizing data for non-relational databases optimized for specific access patterns and scale. Unlike relational design which normalizes data to eliminate redundancy, NoSQL design often embraces denormalization, embedding, and duplicate data to optimize query performance in distributed systems.
