Single-purpose databases were designed to address specific problems and use cases. Given this narrow focus, there are inherent tradeoffs required when trying to accommodate multiple datatypes or workloads in your enterprise environment. The result is data fragmentation that spills over into application development, IT operations, data security, system scalability, and availability.

In this report, we explain why developing data-driven apps with a single data platform potentially makes more sense than cobbling together numerous specialty databases. We discuss how you can use the latest techniques in software architecture—such as microservices, event streaming, REST (representational state transfer) APIs, and SaaS (software as a service) models—by taking advantage of the synergistic data technologies within a converged database, and that you can even analyze unstructured data such as graph, spatial, or JSON (javascript object notation) data without having to convert it. By providing the perspectives and examples of real-world practitioners from a variety of verticals, we will demonstrate how a converged database can streamline data management and ultimately allow businesses to achieve a competitive edge.

Data-Driven Applications: The New Gold Standard of Enterprise Software. Data-driven apps are apps that use diverse sets of data—document data, sensor data, spatial data, transactional data, and more—to help businesses derive immediate value from that data. These diverse sets of data are typically taken from multiple sources in real time.
