15 futuristic Databases
I really like short videos about different tech topics that just show what's out there. So there was a nice video, which I will also link later in this blog post, about 15 futuristic databases and what is possible with them. There are things like a Git-like version control for SQL tables. There is a database where you can write JavaScript in it. And of course, there is a database that uses AI. Because ChatGPT is everywhere at the moment, I also used it to create the table in this blog post. So be careful; what you read on the World Wide Web is not always true, and there can be errors. Enjoy the overview of these futuristic databases.
