  • Oh honorable mention for elastic search when you need an inverted index for full text search but you shouldn't be using that as a primary database.
    Make sure to use HBase when you make your Pornhub clone!

    Two things make this video stand out for system architecture interviews:
    1) general knowledge of the available options, with arguments for and against
    2) enough in depth knowledge to go deep and impress

    One of the best videos of its kind.
    small inaccuracy: Hbase being wide-column store actually store column families together, not individual columns.

    You are sharing awesome content. Great to link to for short and acurate explanations.
    Would be great to see more on Distributed SQL (you did Spanner but there's also YugabyteDB, CockroachDB, TiDB, YDB). And on PostgreSQL compatible databases (you did Aurora but there's also AlloyDB, Neon, YugabyteDB)

    Thanks for the video man! it was informative
    could you please create a video if possible on scenario-based database usage I am really confused about where to properly use sql db and nosql db
    I am little clear that if we need ACID properties then best is sql.
    but I am not completely aware of different other scenarios on where to perfectly use sql and nosql dbs. if you also have any resources please share I am not able to find a good one

    • @jordanhasnolife5163
      @jordanhasnolife5163  Před rokem

      I think you basically just expressed it yourself - "if you need acid properties use sql" - if data integrity is the most important part of your application, SQL is the way to go. Otherwise, NoSQL can offer greater speed while sacrificing some of these requirements.

    • @sarfrazz34
      @sarfrazz34 Před rokem

      ​@@jordanhasnolife5163 Thanks Jordan
      I am thinking of a scenario in case of storing product related things I see nosql is best suited as different product could have different properties, but how about managing the inventory for the product?
      in this case since it requires acid props to manage the inventory count properly, should we maintain the inventory count details alone in sql DB?

    16:30, I haven't heard of column compression being used for image data in the way that you describe here, any pointers on what you were talking about when you mentioned this?

    • @jordanhasnolife5163
      @jordanhasnolife5163  Před rokem

      Hey so I don't actually mean to compress the images with column compression:
      I just mean having a column containing multiple images means that you only have to fetch the images themselves as opposed to potentially a lot of metadata that may come with them (if you were to fetch a row at a time)

    • @BenLernerOfficial
      @BenLernerOfficial Před rokem +2

      ​@@jordanhasnolife5163 I paused the video at this point in confusion as well, because I'm afraid the example doesn't make much sense. In the query you described, you only want to get the thumbnails associated with a specific video, so you would either implement that with a relational table (full_video_id | thumbnail_id, where one full_video id is associated with one or more thumbnail_ids) or you'd store a list of the thumbnail_ids (pointing to the actual image data in, say, s3) on a document representing the full video. The only situation in which you would possibly want to store images in a column is if you'd want to somehow query ALL thumbnails across ALL videos, but that is not the situation you described - you described getting the thumbnails of a SINGLE video. That would be OLTP/row-based, not OLAP/column-based. Also, columns typically contain primitives (so you could, for example, perform an average across a column of floats)

    • @jordanhasnolife5163
      @jordanhasnolife5163  Před rokem

      @@BenLernerOfficial Yes sorry, this is assuming that one video might have many thumbnails (e.g. to create one of those gifs that you see on CZcams now). Sorry this wasn't clear, everything that you've said is accurate.

    • @jordanhasnolife5163
      @jordanhasnolife5163  Před rokem

      Another common use case is to load all thumbnails for a user's channel, such as if you were to click my channel page.

    What if you need a NoSQL store with strong consistency? You need Hbase or MongoDB. And if you need a db optimized for heavy reads, you may need MongoDb since it uses B tree.

    • @jordanhasnolife5163
      @jordanhasnolife5163  Před 11 měsíci

      Mongo might be better for reading sure, but I caution you from saying it and HBase are strongly consistent. Hadoop has some weird writing thing that kinda makes it strongly consistent, and maybe you can configure mongo to do so, but Hadoop writes aren't like actually achieving consensus (and afaik mongo isn't either), so it's kinda just not great for that haha

    • @jordanhasnolife5163
      @jordanhasnolife5163  Před 3 měsíci

      I think these are probably worth knowing about from a software engineering perspective but probably not worth using in a design for an interview. Spanner (can't speak for cockroach) is great, but I think it may be too niche to be fair game here (since it doesn't exactly have a "dedicated" use case).
