Databases and their real world use examples

I am very curious as to how databases are used in the real world, whether you're using MySQL and what not, how does it all come together in a real world business? Banking and gaming I know, but is it something that gets stored on data centres and then put into a VM?

I might be overcomplexing this but I understand the good use cases with VMs and containers etc just not with databases.

I'd google, but I'd like a ELI5 due to my smooth brain with these concepts, thank you.

I think The Manga Guide to Databases would be a good read for you.

Be sure to avoid places where you can get the book for free such as here.
- Thank you for the warning. I made sure to bookmark it so if i ever stumble upon it by accident, I'll immediately know i need to leave.
- Yeah, I would never go there. Just like I won't go here
  
  Thanks for sharing places to avoid so we can stay safe online 💜
- I just bought the book off Nostarchpress last month
- Hey, that's awesome! Also, thanks for the warning on that second link. It's always good to look out for others who don't know any better.
