3Analysis of Blockchain-based Databases in Web Applications

The functions of relational, non-relational databases and blockchain-based databases in web applications were compared. We evaluated whether these systems with different capabilities have performance differences based on users, whether they have security vulnerabilities while meeting the user needs, and the advantages and disadvantages of using the blockchain.

The types of blockchain technologies and the use of different combinations of database types in different situations were analyzed in terms of functionality, security and performance in web applications. Significant differences were noted in the results, especially in which steps were used.

3.1. Introduction

Databases have been continuously improved from the start of using computers to the current day, where they have become indispensable in our daily lives. Current database management systems are powered by a legacy that has been developed over many years according to users’ needs, alongside the invention of computers. Technologies continue to be developed according to the needs and level of civilization that humanity has reached. Blockchain, one of the solutions that has been developed, has brought devastating changes in various fields.

We are currently in a period where the blockchain technology and traditional approach are blended together, developed and used in solutions. In this study, blockchain-based systems and SQL and NoSQL database systems will be ...
