Database

Definitions

1. An organized collection of structured data managed by a database management system (DBMS). Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) use tables with SQL. NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB) offer flexible schemas for specific use cases.

   In plain English: A system that stores and organizes large amounts of data so programs can quickly find, add, update, or delete information.

   Example: "Our database is the source of truth. Unfortunately, the truth is that our data is a mess."
