Never looked at DocumentDB before. So if I get this straight, I can get a fully managed DB that can scale easily, but still have all the advantages and compatibility of a regular NoSQL like Mongo?
I think that's a first, right?
- willvarfar 10y agoPercona have their drop-in MongoDB replacement that uses TokuMX under the hood and they'll manage it for you.
- mat_keep 10y agoTokuMX was discontinued last year MongoDB Atlas will manage MongoDB for you
- fergie 10y agoIsn't it the same general idea as Amazon's DynamoDB?
- tech2 10y agoSo long as you skip over the costs if you want any kind of performance (you need to configure a "number of accesses per time period" with costs scaling alarmingly the higher you go)
- dirkg 10y agoDynamoDB isn't the same thing at all, its very limited and you need to use it in very specific ways. You certainly can't just use your current MongoDb data with it.
- redwood 10y agoExcept that the advantages and compatibility are not all there. Plus there are now fully managed options for the real thing.
- youdontknowtho 10y agoThe advantages are real. Compatibility might not be 100%, but honestly Mongo isn't magic. DocumentDB has strengths of it's own.
- redwood 10y agoI'd be happy to learn about your experience developing an application against DocumentDB and its strengths. Care to share?
- youdontknowtho 10y agoim actually building a fairly well massive app with documentdb and service bus. its not a user facing app, so i dont know if that counts for what you were talking about.
- redwood 10y agoSure, use case aside - expressiveness or the query language, learning curve, secondary indexing etc - keen to hear how all this feels to a new developer to the platform
