what the point then ? MongoDB isn't even good for analytics and big data. What do you store in MongoDB ?
- avitzurel 10y agoCommented above what we used MongoDB for.
- nailer 10y agoI think you use it as a cache, but not what I would define as a database.
- vidarh 10y agoOver the last 20 years, the vast majority of databases I have seen have been partly or wholly used as caches in some sense or other.
- nailer 10y agoI'd agree with that - DBs only record things that have actually happened elsewhere in most cases - but if a DB isn't considered reliable as a source of truth (in particular, if it's backed by another piece of software that is considered the source of truth) it's not a database and is a cache.
