It is Mongo.
- smt88 10y agoIs there a way you can talk to someone who worked on infrastructure at Parse/Facebook? I read an HN comment years ago that one of their engineers thought the choice of Mongo would probably kill the company. It (probably?) didn't, but as a Parse user, I can confirm that uptime and performance were really bad for an established company advertising enterprise service. Here is some discussion from a year ago. A major complaint is that Mongo works OK as a single instance, but the tape and glue start to show when you need to scale it. I would really worry for a PaaS/BaaS using Mongo. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3dvzsl/why_you_should_never_ever_ever_use_mongodb/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3dvzsl/why_you... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9912842 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9912842
- josh_carterPDX 10y agoYeah definitely. Someone we talked to here at Techstars suggested the same thing. Appreciate the feedback.
