Context

Your CRM is a database of customer information. Your email platform stores subscriber data in a database. E-commerce sites use databases to track inventory and orders. Databases organize information in tables (like spreadsheets) and let you search, filter, and update records. Unlike a spreadsheet, databases can handle massive amounts of data and multiple people accessing it simultaneously.
