NO DB - the Center of Your Application Is Not the Database
Uncle Bob:
The center of your application is not the database. Nor is it one or more of the frameworks you may be using. The center of your application are the use cases of your application. […] If you get the database involved early, then it will warp your design. It’ll fight to gain control of the center, and once there it will hold onto the center like a scruffy terrier. You have to work hard to keep the database out of the center of your systems. You have to continuously say “No” to the temptation to get the database working early.
