Leveraging Big Data through NoSQL Databases-Architecture Methodologies, and Strategic Applications

The rise of Big Data has necessitated the evolution of databases beyond traditional relational models, paving the way for NoSQL databases to manage unstructured and semi-structured data at scale. This paper explores the architecture, methodologies, and strategic applications of NoSQL databases in the Big Data ecosystem. We will examine key challenges, tools, and technologies supporting NoSQL adoption and discuss real-world use cases across industries. Additionally, we will outline general activation steps, dependencies, and the risks associated with deploying NoSQL databases in enterprise settings.
