Hi Tiago, I don't know the details of your problem but you might wanna look into a NoSQL solution. It will add some overhead in setting it up but it could be a nice fit for your problem. I don't have a complete overview of all NoSQL solutions but Redis or MongoDB should be a good fit. That said, you will most likely be able to do anything you need with a regular relational DB (as laid out by Colin). It really depends on your overall problem set if it makes sense to add something new into your system. Hope that helps!
