Nowadays there are several social networks with which we all interact, making our lives easier. Increasingly, their growth and involvement in society have been witnessed, bringing several benefits to those who use them, especially for the ease they offer in the exchange of information. There are several types of social networks, from platforms for sharing multimedia content to platforms for sharing opinions on the most diverse topics. It is intended to develop an innovative web application called WeAlert that is useful for society, focusing on the dissemination and resolution of various problems that appear in public infrastructures that are used daily. The presentation of these problems must be done with the association of images and the attribution of geographic coordinates to each image to facilitate its identification and represent its location. Each issue has a status that identifies its progress. Application users can interact with each other through comments and a suggestion rating system and are notified when their issues are resolved. The purpose of this application motivates the development of an application focused on the use of different databases to organize and store the different categories of information present, directing each one to the appropriate database, creating a polyglot database. In this case, 3 different database models are used: relational, documents and graphs.
