I am very curious as to how databases are used in the real world, whether you’re using MySQL and what not, how does it all come together in a real world business? Banking and gaming I know, but is it something that gets stored on data centres and then put into a VM?
I might be overcomplexing this but I understand the good use cases with VMs and containers etc just not with databases.
I’d google, but I’d like a ELI5 due to my smooth brain with these concepts, thank you.
not sure what you mean by ‘come together’… for users there would a ‘front end’ user interface, either a website or an application that includes access control and forms and fields, etc. on the ‘back end’ there would be an application server somewhere that connects to the database and lets certain users view/edit certain things as scripted.
