Comparison with RDBMS

NoSQL RDBMS
insertions and retrievals are easy since all data are together in a JSON blob needs foreign keys and other tables for getting a coherent set of data
doesn’t guarantee ACID properties, so it can’t be used for transactions guarantees ACID
not read optimzed because it has to go to each row, unpack the JSON and update easier because it just has to go to that column and do aggregations
relations are not implicit, which means something like foreign key constraint cannot be enforced relationships are implicit
not built for joins and they are very expensive built for joins
