DAM sizing considerations
Estimating DAM size
Targeting a smaller DAM based on initial size estimations can be a costly migration process if it needs to be expanded later.
However, no one-size-fits-all approach works for estimation. Various factors should be considered, including:
-
Data models influence the choice of database. Relational databases are often more complex and involve more join operations. Non-relational databases use documents, key-value pairs, and other formats but tend to have more duplication and storage requirements due to denormalization.
-
Amount of data
-
Growth rate of the data volume for business needs and changing user behaviors
-
Query patterns
-
Pinpoint the critical and common queries that need support
-
Indexing can enhance the speed, accuracy, and relevance of your queries
