Decision brief
`dolt` merges version control principles from Git with SQL database capabilities to manage data versions effectively.
Good fit when
- Use `dolt` when you need a system that treats your data like source code, allowing for branching, merging, and rollback operations similar to software development practices.
- Prefer `dolt` if your workflows involve collaboration on datasets where changes made by different users must be tracked and merged, akin to how Git handles collaborative coding projects.
Avoid when
- If a simple, monolithic relational database with no need for historical data versioning is sufficient, then `dolt` might introduce unnecessary complexity.
- Avoid using `dolt` if your primary requirement is real-time transaction processing without the overhead of maintaining multiple versions of your dataset.
