Abstract
Cloud computing is the buzz word of today's IT industry. Databases and storage are an integral
part of cloud computing. Cloud computing is slowly pushing out the traditional database
technologies which ruled the FT industry for decades, as these technologies is findia.g it to difficult
to cope with the expectation of the cloud technology. The traditiorud Relational ModeKRDBMS)
can no longer be the "One Size fits all" solution because of the various limitations
when the databases is moved to the cloud. "Traditional database systems do not have the scale,
flexibility and power to store, process, analyze, and mine huge volumes of diverse and distributed
data in real time. Due to this the FT industry came with many NoSQL (Not Only SQL) and
NewSQL databases with various needs in mind. As data variety, velocity)~veracity, and volume~
are fast-growing, different types of database systems such as graph, columnar, text, key-value,
etc. (all these are termed as NoSQL) are being explored. Hadoop is a new method for parallel
data crunching. NoSQL and Hadoop need a better infrastructure, which is being offered by
cloud infrastructure. That is why cloud databases have become hugely popular and pervasive.
This paper aims in discussing the various advancements in the recent past in cloud databases
and tries to find out the various alternatives available in cloud computing with regard to cloud
databases.
