NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. At the same time, NoSQL data modeling is not so well studied and lacks the systematic theory found in relational databases. Document databases advance the BigTable model offering two significant improvements.

The variables that can impact the performance of an application vary; from coding errors or ‘bugs’ in the software, database slowdowns, hosting and network performance, to operating system and device type support. And I’m sure we’ve all experienced frustration when an application crashes, is slow to load, or doesn’t load at all.
