Data can be retrieved through search queries, scaling, indexing, or direct access methods. Search queries and filters help find specific data, indexing organizes data by attributes, and direct access retrieves data through memory addresses. The effectiveness of a retrieval method depends on the system's organization and search query specificity. Understanding these methods can help users find data quickly and efficiently.
Depending on the data storage technology and provider there are multiple ways to access the data in the client applications.

| ORM | Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) is a technique that enables developers to interact with databases using objects instead of SQL queries. It provides a way to map an object-oriented model to a relational database model, making storing and retrieving data easier. With ORM, developers can perform database operations without manually writing SQL queries. This approach allows developers to narrow their focus on the tactical logic of their applications rather than worrying about any underlying data storage mechanism. ORM simplifies data storage and retrieval processes, improving the efficiency and reliability of database interactions. |
| Client/SDKs | As a developer, SDKs (Software Development Kits) are valuable tools that enable you to access and interact with different APIs and services. With SDKs, you can take advantage of a range of libraries, APIs, and other tools that can assist you in developing applications that integrate with the services. SDKs typically have incorporated support for various storage solutions, including databases, cloud storage, and file systems. These can simplify the data storage and retrieval process and allow you to concentrate on developing your applications instead of managing data storage. |
| Scaling | Regarding data storage retrieval, scaling refers to increasing capacity as demand grows. Scaling can be done through horizontal scaling (adding more servers) or vertical scaling (increasing existing server resources). SDKs can aid in scaling by supporting various storage solutions and streamlining storage management for efficient scaling as needed. |
