In a digital world where millions of data are coming in from millions of sources, there is no excuse for not making data-driven business decisions. But most companies are oftentimes left wondering where to start.

Enter open-source databases.

In a nutshell, an open source database is a database application wherein the code is free for everyone to view, download, modify, re-use and distribute, allowing users to create a system based on their own unique requirements. This allows companies to analyse massive data from a continuously growing number of sources at a lower cost.

But how can companies get started on utilising open-source databases? And is it the right path for them?
