Did you read the article? It isn't saying that at all.
Even the introduction clearly explains that it is addressing a trend of developers using NoSQL because of hype rather than actually evaluating their use cases, and that the remainder of the article is how Wix found MySQL better for their specific scenario. They even give tips on when to know if MySQL is good for you for this use case.
It does not attempt to make sweeping statements about NoSQL or MySQL, nor does it prescribe a solution for every workload.
- jhall1468 11y ago> It does not attempt to make sweeping statements about NoSQL or MySQL, nor does it prescribe a solution for every workload. The title is literally a sweeping statement that MySQL is better. The first sentence in the introduction implies that the key-value store is an example of when MySQL is better. Title: Scaling to 100M: MySQL is a Better NoSQL First Sentence: MySQL is a better NoSQL. When considering a NoSQL use case, such as key/value storage, MySQL makes more sense in terms of performance, ease of use, and stability. That's nothing if it isn't a sweeping statement.
- parent5446 11y agoThis is precisely why I asked if you read the article. But it seems you only read the title and the first sentence.
- jhall1468 11y agoI'm not who you responded to, but for the record I read the entire article. The reason I pointed out the title and first sentence, is because those were where the op made sweeping statements, which you claimed he didn't. A little defensive aren't we?
- cortesoft 11y agoI absolutely read the whole article. Did you? At no point does it ever mention that a NoSQL solution is better in any circumstance. It is completely making a statement that MySQL is better as a key value store than a NoSQL db.
