Sponsored content [When, Where & Why to Use NoSQL?]( [Redis 5.0 Released with New Streams Data Type]( Redis recently announced version 5 of its popular database, 15 months after the release of Redis 4. Probably the most important feature of this version is the support for a new data type, Streams. Sorted set functionality has also improved and Redis modules have also been expanded, with the introduction of Clusters and Timers APIs. LOLWUT and other improvements are reviewed in the article. [Concept and Object Modeling Notation for Data Modeling NoSQL Databases]( Ted Hills hosted a workshop at the recent Data Architecture Summit 2018 Conference about data modeling for relational and NoSQL databases. He said that the NoSQL movement helped the database community realize two things. First, not every application needs ACID properties. Second, the tabular data organization is still a good choice for much data, although not for all datasets.
