So are there any actual success stories that the NoSQL movement can point at because it's bizarre to me how NoSQL can still be all the rage when time after time all I read is post mortems detailing painful experience after painful experience.
I'm at a stage where I haven't built enough of my current project to make moving back to an RDBMS painful yet, so all this stuff scares me.
- keithnz 10y agoI've read a number of things on HN where people are building massive DBs with Cassandra with good success.
- phamilton 10y agoI've built out several large scale features on DynamoDB and I can say that with a proper design it is really nice to only worry about budget when scaling. Just crank the provisioned read/write capacity up as needed.
- l1ambda 10y agoI built https://github.com/llambda/agilegps https://github.com/llambda/agilegps on RethinkDB. The atomic changefeeds made it easy to have real-time updates of tracked vehicle's locations. Though it might be possible to do that with listen/notify in PostgreSQL too.
