- rhizome 10y agoJust think how much more they could do if they stopped using MySQL. /s
- user5994461 10y agoForget about the joke for a minute and let's be realistic. It is entirely possible and reasonable to prototype a streaming service serving 20% of the us traffic with a single machine and mongodb. Well, a single machine, mongodb AND akamai.
- orf 10y agoWell of course, mongodb is web scale don't ya know
- user5994461 10y agoMongoDB is shit. No need to use it. What's important is really the distribution and caching layer, and Akamai has been offering that for a very long time for all the big internet companies.
