database-decision
Guide developers through choosing the right database BEFORE writing any code. Covers SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL), NoSQL document (MongoDB), graph (Neo4j), key-value (Redis), wide-column (Cassandra), object-oriented (IRIS), time-series (InfluxDB), and polyglot persistence. ALWAYS use this skill when: user asks "which database should I use", starts building without mentioning a DB choice, compares databases (MongoDB vs PostgreSQL), designs system architecture, mentions CAP theorem / ACID vs BASE / sharding / replication, says "I need a database for...", builds e-commerce / IoT / social / analytics / real-time systems, mentions "store data" / "persist data" / "data layer" / "polyglot persistence". Even if the user already picked a database, STOP and validate that choice before helping implement it. The wrong database is the most expensive technical debt.
