You’ll learn to use Elasticsearch NoSQL, which is a common NoSQL database and a supplement to a relational database to high-speed search and indexing. We will examine Elasticsearch as an example of a BASE-style (Basic Availability, Soft State, Eventual Consistency) database approach, as well as compare and contrast the advantages and challenges associated with ACID and BASE databases.
This course is part of the PostgreSQL for Everybody Professional Certificate.

What you'll learn

  • Understand PostgreSQL architecture; analyze and compare SQL and NoSQL
  • Compare and contrast ACID and BASE style architectures and databases
  • Create and utilize an Elasticsearch index in different contexts
