Answer
When handling large-scale, flexible, and rapidly-evolving data.
NoSQL databases are ideal for scenarios requiring horizontal scaling and flexible schema, like real-time analytics or social media feeds. They enable handling large volumes of unstructured data efficiently. For example, a social media platform might use NoSQL to store user interactions that don't fit a rigid schema.
