I don't think my app died with 200 users purely owing to the technologies I used. Those may have not been the best tools for the job, but with some precautions, I could have made them work fine.
If I see performance issues with Mongo, I will switch. But I don't want to switch just because I can.
- brianwawok 10y agoI think that is a good idea when looking at new technology in general. However in this case 1) switching databases is a lot of hassle especially without an ORM. Why choose wrong from the start? 2) Mongo not scaling well and being a poor choice is documented across thousands of articles all over the net. At some point it may be worth accepting "hey maybe the entire world isn't stupid and this tech really does suck." I could see your point if somehow Mongo provided massive time savings, but I am very doubtful.
- stockkid 10y agoThanks for the tips. I think (1) is a good reason to switch but I am not familiar with the topic of (2) yet. I will do some more research & talk to people.
