Why you should migrate from NoSQL to SQL database

While many talk about migrating SQL DB to NoSQL, today, I would talk about the opposite scenario.

The decision to migrate from NoSQL to SQL (Structured Query Language) will depend on various factors such as the specific use case, the data requirements, and the organizational needs. However, there are several reasons why organizations may consider migrating from NoSQL to SQL databases:

1. Data Consistency: SQL databases provide strong data consistency guarantees, which means that the data is always up-to-date and accurate. In contrast, NoSQL databases often prioritize scalability and performance over consistency, which can result in eventual consistency issues.
2. Query Flexibility: SQL databases provide a powerful query language that allows for complex queries and joins across multiple tables. NoSQL databases often have limited querying capabilities and may require denormalization to support complex queries.
3. Data Integrity: SQL databases enforce data integrity through data validation and constraints.
4. Transactions: SQL databases support transactions, which allow multiple database operations to be executed as a single unit of work. NoSQL databases may not support transactions or provide limited support, making it difficult to maintain data integrity in complex operations.
5. Mature Ecosystem: SQL databases have been around for several decades and have a mature ecosystem of tools, libraries, and frameworks.
