It all depends of the use cases harder to answer without that.

MongoDB and CouchDB are not RDBMS. Not sure the intention of the question is.

SQLServer carries over a considerable number of legacy apps and code on it, but many of the others are more suitable for RD. Surprised not seeing mySQL on the list...

I think DB's planet scale can offer a different view on RDBMS usage.

I had trouble pointing one database. Some are relational, some are document databases. It's like comparing a hammer and a screwdriver, which is better? When comparing databases agnostically of the purpose, then I'd choose security, performance, scalability, and availability as the main parameters.

Thoughts on self-healing applications? Any approaches or tools that look promising to you?

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).

As there is so much happening in the AI world. I would like to know what online courses(Udemy, Pluralsight etc) you would recommend for learning AI from the Data Engineer perspective?
