Can microservices use same database?

Should microservices use different databases?

Different services have different data storage requirements. For some services, a relational database is the best choice. Other services might need a NoSQL database such as MongoDB, which is good at storing complex, unstructured data, or Neo4J, which is designed to efficiently store and query graph data.

Does each microservice have its own database?

The short answer is yes. However, before you start hyperventilating about the cost of all those extra Oracle licenses, lets first explore why it is essential to do this and then discuss what is meant by the term 'database'.

What database do you use for microservices?

Redis as a Multimodel Database — so microservices designers can organize their data using the data structure that best suits their performance requirements. Redis simplifies your application and data architecture.
