MongoDB is a pile of crap and a shame to all the NoSQL datastores. Please don't bring MongoDB in a talk about databases. If that is your only experience of NoSQL, it is perfectly normal that you think of NoSQL as a mistake to never use ;)
- metaphorm 10y agoNo need to convince me of Mongo's problems. I struggle to think of a use case for it where I wouldn't prefer to use the JSON store functionality of Postgres instead. My best experience with NoSQL (in terms of it working ok and not otherwise fucking up the system) has been with HBase on a cluster running map/reduce jobs. That was well suited for the purpose (mostly). I'm sure glad nobody had any illusions about using that as a production datastore for a user facing web app though.
