For databases, 2024 was a year for both classic capabilities and new features to take priority at enterprises everywhere. As the pressure increased for organizations to operate in a data-driven fashion, new and evolving data protection regulations all over the world necessitated better governance, usage, and organization of that data.

And, of course, the rise of artificial intelligence shined an even brighter light on the importance of data accuracy and hygiene, enabling accurate, customized AI models, and contextualized prompts, to be constructed. Key to managing all of this have been the databases themselves, be they relational, NoSQL, multimodel, specialized, operational, or analytical.

In 2025, databases will continue to grow in importance, and that’s not going to stop. Even if today’s incumbent databases are eventually eclipsed, the need for a category of platforms that optimize the storage and retrieval of data will persist because they are the essential infrastructure for high-value, intelligent systems.
