Datastores and ORMs

MongoDB & Mongo
MariaDB (MySQL) & Sequelize

- Which to use - Look at mongo - Look at mysql

MongoDB

"Document database"
Schemaless
BSON
Relatively New

- documents look like JS objects mostly - no fixed structure for data - not text in/out like SQL - Leave data logic to application

Considerations

Easier to scale across servers
Documents are like JS Objects
Schemaless
No "Normalization"
Non-relational

- shards are a core concept (do you need this?) - shove JS objects directly into mongo - Flexible data models (pro and con) - no concept of normalization - non-relational, long lists of updates - *personally would not recommend as "go-to"

Where to get it

Package managers

MariaDB (or MySQL)

SQL
Relational/has joins
Transactions
Very Mature

Considerations

Scaling more complex task
Tables/Schemas
Validation in data-store
