| Strength | unstructured data stores as bytes with a name within a place (.zip, .jpeg, .csv ) | NoSQL, no Schema & pay by the operation DB | DB storing +TBytes data, with millisec latency, high volume of writes, but expensive cluster, for apps that needs to scale | hosted MySQL service + Ops tasks. | SQL query engine processing TBytes in seconds. Great for realtime analysis of large datasets |
