Feed: IBM Big Data & Analytics Hub - All Content. Author: chris-gillar. If you read a lot of development blogs nowadays, you’ll probably notice a common theme: developers don’t want to deal with databases. They want to focus on designing, building, testing, and deploying applications that deliver value to the business as quickly as possible.Because of this, developers often instinctively reach for whichever database platform minimizes the amount of time needed to design a schema, and allows them to get started fast.
