Practically all enterprises today are either in the process of developing modern applications or are transforming relational workloads into modern, NoSQL workloads. Both efforts require a new kind of data platform that can handle the demands of modern workloads for high performance, always-on availability, and linear scalability; a data platform that supports cloud-based, microservice-oriented architecture, and provides developers with a simple and consistent backend to process their applications’ data without the overhead of complex database administration.
