Hi there @derek986986,
Flexible and scalable data storage is a baseline requirement for most applications and services being developed with modern techniques and tools. Whether storing large or small amounts of images, videos, or blobs of text, application developers need a solution for the storage and retrieval of user-generated content, logs, backups, and so on.
What I could suggest is going through this tutorial here:

It will give you a really good overview of what the main differences are and which storage would be more suitable for your needs.
