I am very curious as to how databases are used in the real world, whether you’re using MySQL and what not, how does it all come together in a real world business? Banking and gaming I know, but is it something that gets stored on data centres and then put into a VM?
I might be overcomplexing this but I understand the good use cases with VMs and containers etc just not with databases.
I’d google, but I’d like a ELI5 due to my smooth brain with these concepts, thank you.
Yeah, even the file system is a hierarchical database, same with Windows registry, Internet domain registry too, not any database has to be SQL or relations based. There also are time based databases like influxdb for storing time based data, like metrics, logs
