Before we discuss how to build optimal models, we first need to understand the characteristics that need to be present in an optimal model. Let's take a look at the following:
- Easy to adapt: An optimal model should be easy to adapt according to the changing needs of the application as its user base grows. This means changing a particular model should not require changes all across the application, and should be high in cohesion.
- Maximizes the throughput on a host: Every host has a different architecture, and a data model should be able to exploit the underlying host resources in a manner that maximizes its throughput. This can be made possible by using the correct data storage engine for a particular architecture and ...
