NoSQL Use Case Scenarios or WHEN to use NoSQL [closed]

by

With all the hype, it seems really hard to find reliable information on when to use this. So I pose the following questions, and I’m sorry if these are really dumb questions in advance:

  1. Should I use NoSQL for user data? E.g. profiles, usernames + passwords, etc.
  2. Should I use NoSQL for important content? E.g. articles, blog posts, product inventory, etc.

I’m assuming no? And I feel like NoSQL is just for quickly accessible things from which it’s OK to lose data. But I also read that NoSQL apps have built-in redundancy so that I don’t lose data?

Also, if the above 2 examples are bad, could you give me specific business use cases where I would use NoSQL? I see a lot of general descriptions but not a lot of real-world examples. The only things I can think of are user-to-user messaging and analytics.
