Why Real-Time Analytics Requires Both the Flexibility of NoSQL and Strict Schemas of SQL Systems

Rockset

Traditional databases, with their wholly-inflexible structures, are brittle. So are schemaless NoSQL databases, which capably ingest firehoses of data but are poor at extracting complex insights from that data. And the same risk of data errors and data downtime also exists. NoSQL Comes to the Rescue.
