My company got hired for 2 very large MongoDB to MySQL migration projects this year alone totaling over $170k. These apps should have never been on MongoDB in the first place. Total mess that cost them lots of $$.
I am okay if others continue to use MongoDB. It will keep my team gainfully employed ;)
- icc97 10y agoWow, that is truly impressive. I'd be surprised if there's any examples of people prepared to spend the same amount of money to go the opposite way.
- 20years 10y agoTo be fair, the projects pretty much required a full code re-write too. MongoDB in both cases was one of many bad decisions. Choosing all hipster stuff is what got them into trouble.
- pbreit 10y agoIf you're gonna migrate to SQL, wouldn't Postgres be a better call?
- 20years 10y agoPostgres is great and was on the table but MySQL was chosen for a variety of reasons. In particular, one of the companies already had a lot of other things running on MySQL that they wanted integrated. They were happy with that setup and MySQL was a perfectly fine choice for the app we were migrating from MongoDB.
