All these comments are starting to make me feel stupid. I picked mongo for a side project, and it's been really nice so far. I have a hard time imagining how one would use it for a complicated and/or large schema though. I assume that is just my newness to it.
- __jal 10y agoNope, you have it right. Mongo is a lot of fun to play with out of the box. Once you have nontrivial data models, redundancy and load, not so much.
- jpgvm 10y agoDon't feel bad for not understanding how to make it work for a big project, it just doesn't. You can try make it work for a big project, but at that point you are just implementing database level code in your application. Better to just use something like PostgreSQL. Contrary to popular belief PostgreSQL is actually a better document store than MongoDB via it's jsonb type, operators and GIST/GIN indexing.
