I am trying to use a NoSQL database instead of a relational database such as MySQL in WordPress, but I am not sure if it is possible or not.

Any suggestion is very welcome.

WordPress only supports MySQL, so no, you cannot use a NoSQL DB. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Alternative_Databases

Currently, the official WordPress distribution only supports the MySQL
database engine. A number of people have requested support for other
database engines, particularly the open-source PostgreSQL
… Current codebase is very MySQL-centric. While WordPress does use the ezSQL class to implement database calls, this cannot properly be called an abstraction layer.
