🎯 Challenge Overview
Participants will face three rounds where they must analyze use cases and decide:
💾 SQL or NoSQL?
🛠️ Round 1: Schema Showdown
🔹 Competitors are given multiple business use cases.
🔹 They must decide between SQL (Relational) or NoSQL (Non-Relational).
🔹 Justify the decision based on scalability, consistency, and complexity.
⚡ Round 2: Optimization Battle
🔹 Given an inefficient database, redesign schemas for better performance.
🔹 Normalize SQL databases or denormalize NoSQL structures.
🔹 Optimize queries, indexes, and storage models.
🔥 Final Round: Live Query Showdown
🔹 Teams write and execute queries on a provided dataset.
🔹 SQL warriors craft optimized JOINs, subqueries, and indexes.
🔹 NoSQL champions showcase flexible key-value, document, or graph queries.
The fastest, most efficient, and well-justified database solution wins! 🏆
